I created Tidybay, a Mac Downloads folder cleaner. Where does it get shoddy?

This is what my Downloads folder looked like: an endless mess of installers, receipts, and screenshots, all called Untitled. There were several times when I intended to clean up but never did, and so I did something about it.

Tidybay monitors this folder and moves new files to properly organised folders based on the date and file type. It never deletes any file without user permission. I developed this application over a period of three weekends and a lot of caffeine.

Here is what I know is not good enough. The onboarding is requesting folder permission at an awkward time. The rules screen resembles a settings screen from 2012. Finally, I am undecided whether to go for freemium or charge a tiny fee for it.

It is self-promotion, so here is my little pitch: I value your feedback more than any upvote. When you use it, please let me know the first thing that irritated you. And finally, for those who priced Mac utility, how did you do it?
