Intent
I need it when
Quickly organize a cluttered macOS desktop without manually sorting each file
Swipe-based interface lets users review and bin files rapidly using left/right gestures or keyboard shortcuts, making desktop cleanup faster than traditional folder navigation
Identify and remove duplicate, old, or large files taking up desktop space
Smart suggestion engine detects duplicates by name/size, old files (1+ year), large files (50MB+), and temporary files, surfacing candidates for deletion automatically
Group related files together for batch review and decision-making
Group review mode with smart action cards clusters related files (same session, similar names, duplicates) so users can handle multiple related items in one decision
Preview files before committing to deletion to avoid losing important documents
In-app Quick Look preview and review-before-deletion workflow (when immediate binning is disabled) let users confirm file content before permanent removal
Drop
Not a fit when
- User requires Windows or Linux desktop organization—product is macOS-only
- User needs professional support or SLA guarantees—this is a community open-source project with known bugs
- User has 100+ files on desktop—performance degrades significantly with large collections
- User requires batch automation without UI interaction—swipe-based interface requires manual review of each file
- User needs advanced file recovery after deletion—product does not provide file recovery capabilities
