(I see this app as like a Roomba for Mac, though at $0, it’s a whole lot cheaper than the thousand-buck smart vacuum cleaner).ĭown below, you tap the small clock icon to set the time at which you want to declutter your desktop and a slider bar icon to access application settings (start app at login and hotkeys). That’s useful, and the fact that you can choose when the application sweeps up your Desktop (immediately, daily, after a set period of time – you decide) means you can continue to work in the way that’s familiar to you (messily), while remaining confident that everything will get cleaned up when you’re done. That means all your documents will end up in the Documents folder, while images and movie assets saved to your Desktop end up held in the application’s Pictures and Videos folders. It basically monitors your Desktop and transfers all the different items you save there to its own smart folders. Here it is, in three tidy parts: What is Declutter?ĭeclutter isn’t the world’s most complex application. ![]() However, the developers only recently launched Declutter, so I thought it was worth a short review. I have been intending to include it in a short round-up of essential Mac utilities at Computerworld, but haven’t managed to get round to writing that yet. Window Tidy checks this setting and shows novice users how to adjust it if required.For the last few weeks I’ve been using MacAppStudio’s Declutter utility. Please note, Window Tidy is an assistive application and requires the system accessibility setting "Enable access for assistive devices" to be turned on. We have provided a function to move the active window to the current screen to help you retrieve these lost windows. If you have worked with multiple screens you may have found that occasionally windows get lost, perhaps because the screen they are on is currently switched off. Windows can be moved onto a new monitor and have a layout applied in one simple drag and drop movement. When you drop the window on a Layout Icon the window is moved into position on the screen containing the layouts. When you drag a window onto another screen, the Layout Icons move to the new screen. When triggered a window appears allowing you to quickly drag the grid area you want the active window to occupy, and when you release the mouse button the layout is applied. This can be triggered from the Window Tidy menu or using a global hotkey. ![]() ![]() If you want to apply a different layout to a window, but don't intend to use it regularly you can apply a Quick Layout. Assign keyboard shortcuts to individual layouts for when using a mouse is not convenient Bonus feature allows windows to be captured to the pasteboard just by dragging them onto a layout Quick Layout option for applying a new layout without adding it to the list Menu option to move the active window to the current screen Configure the Option Key to either show / hide the Layout Icons whilst dragging Specify the look and position of the pop-up Layout Icons Layouts can be added, removed and customised Intuitive interface seamlessly integrates with OS X You can create any number of layouts, each with it's own grid size, so in just a few seconds you can take control of your Desktop and get working more efficiently. It also works seamlessly over multiple monitors too! Window Tidy lets you quickly and easily arrange your application windows on your Desktop onto a customisable grid using nothing but drag and drop! When you want to reposition a window, there are no hot-keys to remember or menus to click, you simply drag and drop the window onto customisable pop-up Layout Icon and it will instantly snap to that layout. And then when you're done, you've got to move them all back! Step in Window Tidy. How many times have you had to keep switching between documents when you wished you could just see them all at the same time? For example, composing an email whilst referencing information on a spreadsheet and a PDF? The process of dragging and resizing these windows manually is very fiddly and time consuming. ![]()
