Tidy Up For Mac

Keeping duplicate documents on your Mac is a waste of space that might be put to better use. Tidy Up (formerly known as Tidy Up!) is an easy to use application that can help you detect duplicates by employing different sorting methods, and then quickly remove them from your system.

Finding your way around Tidy Up is reasonably intuitive since the apps main window comes with a clean and organized design: in the left panel you can select the folders you want to scan, while on the right you get to customize the scanning settings.

Tidy Up comes with Basic and Advanced search modes: using the second is advisable if you want to compare files by attributes (file name, modification or creation dates, file extension, type, creator name, item size and more).

After the scanning process is over, Tidy Up opens a new window where you can browse the duplicate files and select the ones you want to remove. The app can delete all items or only the checked / unchecked ones.

To make sure you want to send a specific file to the Trash, Tidy Up allows you view the file attributes, a thumbnail (if it is the case), and integrates with the Quick Look plug-in. At the same time, the items can be moved and copied, or burned to a disc.

Tidy Up offers you the possibility to clean up your Mac’s disk by making sure there are no duplicates. The application can compare different types of files, highlights the ones that are holding up space unnecessarily, and then helps you delete them without too much hustle.
