CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Paul Hughes on October 21, 2009

Tidy Up is a tool that can help you reduce hard-drive clutter by identifying duplicate files on any mounted disk. This utility's multipane interface has a bit of a learning curve, and its comprehensive search criteria and system of smart and manual "baskets" may not be immediately intuitive to casual users--and given that the app is appropriately cautious about deleting files, there is no easy "trash all duplicate files" wizard.

Anyone who spends time getting familiar with Tidy Up and its three-step approach, however, will find that it's a powerful tool for identifying and dealing with duplicate files, whether you want to delete them, move them, or back them up onto alternate media. In addition to complex searches using standard file attributes, Tidy Up also offers specialized tools for searching through Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, and Aperture.

Given its price and rich feature set, Tidy Up may not fit the bill if you're looking for a fast, simple way to conserve disk space. For administrators and other users who need to manage large numbers of disks and files--especially those dealing with lots of images--Tidy Up is a potent and versatile tool.

Publisher's description

From Hyperbolic Software :

Is our next generation duplicate finder and disk tidiness utility.

With Tidy Up! you can search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, time modified, time created, name, label, visibility and delays. You can also search by the tag, duration and bit installments of MP3 and AAC sound files, search the contents of the iPhoto, Aperture, iTunes, iPod databases and Mail mailboxes, and synchronize deletions with iPhoto, Mail and iTunes.

Tidy Up! allows you to search for duplicate folders; by name, date modified, date created, label visibility, empty folders, their contents and more.

Tidy Up! is fast, it doesn't index the scanned volumes, so you don't waste additional precious space. With its multitasking capability, you can do more searches at a time and take advantage of the latest Macintosh computers and operating systems.

Tidy Up! has a security system that assures you will keep at least one file of the duplicate group on your disk, the ability to undo copied and moved items and the ability to restore trashed items as long as the trash is not emptied, even after a restart of the computer.

Tidy Up! comes with a list of tasks with which you can do some common searches and for a customized strategy, it offer Strategy Wizard. Based on your choices it creates the appropriate criteria with which to search for duplicates and a new "Smart Basket" that will contain the items to be removed.

Tidy Up! offers a full-size preview of the most commonly used files such as: audio, media, text, pdf, graphics, fonts and more...

One of the most interesting features of Tidy Up! is the capability to separate, for quick and easy organization, found items using custom criteria via "Smart Baskets".

Of course Tidy Up! allows you to trash, move, burn and export into html files all found items.

Tidy Up! is fully customizable and allows you to create your preferred workspace.

What's new in this version:

  • Improved the search for MP3 by tag.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes crashed the application during a search.
  • Fixed various small bugs created during the process of programming compatibility with Snow Leopard.
