... Letting Claude, Cowork or Codex loose in a folder is great until it "cleans up" something you needed. 2.9 adds a safety net: protect a folder first (from the panel, or right-click it in the Finder). Tidy keeps an instant copy that takes no space. Afterwards it tells you in plain words what was moved, renamed and deleted, and brings it all back in one click. What the AI created stays; nothing current is overwritten. I tested it with ... ... need": it deleted 6 files and moved 18. All 25 came back, byte for byte. Rename also reads more formats now: saved emails, calendar invitations, contacts, EPUB books and screen recordings. Free update for everyone who already has Tidy

... products? Hide weak numbers, show them with a warning, or show them anyway? Comment from Matheus Paranhos(@matheus_paranhos1): Well fair point! I d rather leave a gap than show a confident weak trend, I ve had numbers look tidy and then fall apart on a second check. Do people ask you to show the comparison anyway ...

... Every session ends by writing what got done, what broke and the single next action at the top. The next session starts by reading the top. It's over two thousand lines now. Every time I let the model tidy it into a summary it lost the one detail I needed a week later, so now it only gets added to. Chat history I treat as gone. Comment from Ali Naqi Shaheen(@ali_shaheen): One big project file stops scaling ...

... This release is about giving you more than two folders at once, and about folders that keep themselves tidy. Up to six panes in one window Split a window into one to six panes, each with its own folder, its own view mode and its own terminal if you use that. Pick the arrangement from the toolbar, or press Control Command and the number of panes you want. Four opens as a 2 by 2 square, which suits a laptop ... ... better than four narrow columns, and you can drag files straight from one pane to another. Folders that keep themselves tidy

... that has nothing to do with focus. My daughters spend real time making their iPhone home screens look how they want. Younger users here treat the home screen as something you style, so an app that makes it look tidy reaches them before the digital detox argument does. Comment from Joshua Gibson(@joshua_gibson2): I just recently joined PH, looking for my lighthouses and hope to be a lighthouse for others! Comment from Joshua Gibson(@joshua_gibson2): @adana ...

... There is one directory in my project I am not allowed to refactor, even to tidy it up: the code that draws the actual Nutrition Facts panel, to the regulator's spacing rules. It is not pretty code. But it is correct, it is verified against the regulation's worked examples, and every "improvement" I can imagine risks nudging a hairline rule by half a point and making thousands of generated labels subtly non-compliant. So it is frozen. Bugs ...

... more than eight templates. A guard that cannot see what it guards is worse than none, because it is the reason nobody checks by hand. The other habit is a real figure in the test instead of a tidy one. Our payment check compared amounts in minor units, which is right for dollars and wrong for yen, where Stripe takes whole yen. An invoice of 108250 minor units charges 1082, and 1082 converted back is 108200, fifty short ...

... peter_jenkins1): Hi Alan! As a self-employed person, I regularly archive documents. If I'm no longer working with a client or the documents are somehow no longer useful to me, I archive them. Helps to keep info tidy and relevant. It's a practice I picked up from well-organised employers during my in-house copywriting days. I don't think it makes sense to delete documents, as you may have to document the process later ...

... These are pretty basic tools, but figured if it solved my problem, it might solve someone else's too. Both are free and open source, and I plan to keep doing this: fix my own annoyances. File Tidy An open-source Windows app for cleaning up a folder that's already a disaster Downloads, Desktop, wherever loose files pile up. Core features: Review before you commit see every proposed move as a plan before a single file actually moves ... ... network requests of any kind Custom rules define your own categories, folders, and file extensions to match your workflow Lightweight by design event-driven service worker that only runs while a download is active Pairs naturally with File Tidy

... that ever showed for it. The rule was written against one page taking the queries from the other. That is no longer what the data shows. Nothing is taking them; they are just gone. The redirect would still be tidy, but it would not be the fix it was meant to be, and I have not decided yet. So the addition to writing the rule against the outcome: write down the premise that makes the action sensible, and check ...

... Your agent changed a shared helper. The edit looks tidy. Which other parts of the project need a closer look? I m Kevin, the maker of Brain Scanner. Here is a concrete review exercise you can use with your next agent-assisted change: 1. Pick one changed helper or module. Write down the behavior you expect to remain the same. 2. Inspect its recorded relationships in the project graph. Use those connections to identify files and symbols worth reviewing, then ...

... Three weeks ago Tidy launched here, and 133 of you now follow it thank you. Version 2.1 shipped this week, and every one of its 9 changes came from user reports and requests. Among them: "Tidy

... only one using your own product daily, that's actually not nothing! It means YOU have the problem you're solving. The question is whether others share that same problem. What's been your experience with early user feedback vs. actual usage data? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @richatsealedvault  Definitely try DMs, but be careful with LinkedIn limits for sent messages :) Comment from Abusaid islam said(@abusaid_islam_said): For me, it's definitely the mix of respondents ... ... good. Second: people who trust reviews completely and rarely question them, since they're the ones who need Merzify most and will tell you honestly whether the result actually changes their mind or just gets ignored. Your developer versus

... could not have been copied from a generic startup template. Comment from Serdar D(@serdarships): When someone calls a post AI written, it is worth looking at what they are actually testing, because it is almost never style. Cadence, tidy paragraphs, punctuation habits, those are proxies, and every one of them comes out of a single prompt, so a founder who tightens their prose gets accused more often. What a prompt cannot produce is a claim that could turn ...

... generated - Comment from Rabnoor Singh(@rabnoor_s): @oshylabs   @guillermoescobar  this matches what i got when i changed one variable at a time. i had one flagged, deleted only the final sentence, which was a tidy line restating the point, and left the lowercase and the spelling errors exactly where they were. it cleared. a second one stayed flagged until i cut the same kind of closing line out of that one too. so roughness isnt what saves ... ... long as it isn t over reactive, I think it could be good! Comment from Ryan Miller(@ryanwrites): @alieksia  I'm worried about false positives too. I would prefer to be able to report something as being AI vs

... outside every app, which is why Happycapy has a layer no other agent does: paste one command and your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine is connected. Happycapy can organize files, run scripts, and edit documents right where they sit. "Tidy up this folder group by type, and don't delete anything without asking." Check the last folder: the suspected duplicates weren't deleted they went to a review folder to wait for your yes. Quick hands, good manners. Example ...

... seen cases where founders only stumbled across it months later by accident. I'm trying to get a clearer picture of how this problem actually surfaces for small teams. The version in vendor whitepapers always feels a bit too tidy compared to what I hear when I ask people directly ...

... current coding agents you've seen it: you ask where something lives in the codebase, the tool announces it's "spawning an explore agent", goes quiet for a minute, and comes back with a tidy two-sentence answer. The feature usually gets explained as teamwork, which hides the useful part. The clone is a disposable context window. Your agent's memory is finite and expensive everything it reads stays in its working memory and gets re-billed on every turn ...

... Kevin Brown(@mathsociety): @rabnoor_s  This is really good feedback. Especially the point about the simulator telling you what it couldn t see before telling you what it thinks will happen. We already capture some of the rule vs ML disagreement inside hybridDecision, but your point is making me think that shouldn t just be an internal/debugging detail. The disagreement itself can be part of the confidence signal we expose to the user. I also like the reversibility idea ... ... stopping a workload leaves databases, load balancers and networking running. That is the case where the simulator was right. The dangerous case is the dependency it did not know existed, because then the output is a confident, tidy

... notice, I think it reads as lower effort rather than as neutral info. Which is a bit unfair because the label can't tell apart something a model wrote end to end from something you wrote and had it tidy up. Both get the same tag. I don't really weigh it much myself. If the thing is good it's good. And like I said above, it only shows up on people who weren't hiding it anyway ...

... from 1 to 26 over two weeks once every comment started carrying a real number or a real mistake instead of just an argument. Curious whether anyone else here has found a similar tell for what reads as generated versus what reads as lived-in, especially posting into communities that skew technical. Comment from Abdullah Javaid(@abdullah_javaid3): Mine's mostly the softer ones too. That 1 to 26 is almost entirely r/SaaS, business and growth threads ... ... none of that. where i landed is close to yours but i would put it on shape rather than on the missing first-hand marker. every paragraph was the same length, no digressions, no filler, and a tidy

... Every client project I've worked on ends the same way: documentation. Setup guides, handoffs, "how do I edit my own site" walkthroughs. Screenshots into a doc, tidy it up, export a PDF that's outdated by the next change. It's real work and usually the unpaid, unloved kind. What I can never quite tell: does everyone just accept this as part of the job, or have some of you found genuinely good ways to make it less painful ...

... think the category is missing. Dictating prose and dictating to an AI are different problems, and almost everything is built for the first one. When a human reads the output, polish matters. Strip the filler, fix the punctuation, tidy the sentence. Every one of these ships some version of that and they are right to. When a model reads the output, polish is a liability. My messy sentence carries hesitation and self-correction that the model actually uses. A cleaned ...

... What is your tool about? What does it do? :) And does it have your first initial testers? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @abidhusain  When you describe it like this, it sounds complex. Does it have any competitors at all? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @abidhusain  I am curious when you will launch. Once you are ready, I will gladly upvote. :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @abidhusain  I think that I supported :) Comment from Nika ... ... Have you made a research on whether something similar was launched here? So the chance to be featured will be higher. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @victor_perdiguer  For how long have you been building the tool vs
