Tidy - A personal assistant that can learn to use any app you use

Tidy is a personal agent that can use any app you use, so it can do everything you do. Tidy keeps you in the loop via iMessage + a persistent filesystem. It's like OpenClaw, but fully cloud hosted and you can teach it to safely use any website without touching any code.

Hi,

We originally built Tidy because we loved the idea of an agent (or ) running our life via texts. As we shared Tidy with friends, we realized that everyone had particular use cases, wanting to automate niche websites and tasks.

So Tidy can now learn how to use any webapp with no coding required:

  • You can show Tidy how to use any webapp. It then turns it into a reusable, reliable tool.

  • Any tool you make can be shared with friends.

  • Tidy lives in iMessage (and web chat), so it can text you when your input is needed.

    • No need for your own mac to use this, we host Tidy.

    • Tidy also works in group chats, where you can share tools

  • Tidy comes with memory (a filesystem), reminders (cron jobs), and many built-in tools.

You can use your own tools or community-built tools. Over time, Tidy will be able to do more of the things you need to do but don’t love doing. Would love for you to try making a tool here: .

What's Next

  • Safe personal context - We're making an open-source desktop app that allows you to connect your personal context (messages, notes, etc.) to Tidy and other agents

  • Mobile apps - Right now it's just webapps; we also want to allow tidy to use mobile apps

We hope that Tidy can become an operating system for your life. Please let us know what we can do to get there.

Onwards,

Aagam & Brian

 the clicks → code layer is the real unlock here

bridging llm flexibility with deterministic execution is where most agents break

this feels like a serious step toward a usable personal OS

 that's the vision and hope! thanks for the kind words

Hey Product Hunt,

Been using (and building) Tidy for some time now. While Tidy is great for the regular stuff (reminders, managing my calendar, notes), I also thought I'd share some custom generated tools + features that I've personally found quite useful:

  • Checking what Bay Wheels ebikes are available (Tidy texts me in the morning which station is best to go to)

  • Getting text alerts about certain clothing sales

  • Snagging restaurant reservations

  • Logging fitness sessions and health data

Some of my friends have made niche tools like:

  • Extracting vocals from youtube videos

  • Following class discussion boards

  • Finding optimal flights to use airline points

If you have an interesting use case, you should try teaching Tidy a new tool and let us know how it goes!

Extremely excited to see this public release. Have been a longtime supporter of and 's work!

Thanks Toby, glad to have your support while building!

   Thanks for the banger advice + feedback Toby!!

Surprised to see that price trackers for several brands and scenarios are built-in tools as well! Congrats on the launch!

 people have found it useful to get a text when a piece of clothing they like drops in price!

I really love Tidy's logo and overall vibe!

 that's 's handiwork

Great launch! After playing around a little with OpenClaw and building my own, similar thing I realised that way too often I depend on AI vs generated code (for example, for tools that just need a simple data fetch from somewhere) What do you think? What's your approach here?

 Good point, there's kind of a trade-off between repeatability vs flexibility when using AI. We try to solve this: when you show Tidy how to use an app, we convert your clicks into code. So you get the repeatability of code but the flexibility of an LLM.

I like it. I see clear value in automating repetitive tasks across different apps.

 Appreciate the love!

Do you really mean any app? Wow, it deserves a try of course. I'll back with deep feedback

 Let us know which webapps or tasks you try making into tools!

 Right now it's webapps, but we want to add mobile apps soon!

tidy has been a productivity game changer for me by feeding me relevant news in digestible lengths every morning!

 thanks Grace!

love it.. and gonna start testing ..

 love it, please let us know what you think :)
