Keep your Desktop and Downloads under control.

Set the rules once. Then forget it.

📸

Screenshots

Renamed to the date and time, filed into a Screenshots folder.

🗒️

Markdown notes

Sorted into a dated Notes library, named from their front-matter.

📦

Installers

That .dmg you're done with - moved to the Trash once it's sat unopened.

🗄️

Old downloads

Anything older than 30 days, tucked into a dated archive.

Every folder gets its own rules - Desktop, Downloads, or any folder you add.

The promise

Nothing is ever deleted.

Every action is a move - to a folder, or to the Trash. It's all journaled before it happens, and Undo last sweep restores everything to exactly where it was, any time. That's the whole point.

The approach

A simpler way to automate file cleanup.

Some Mac apps let you build advanced folder-automation rules from scratch. Desk Sweeper takes a different approach: it focuses on the everyday mess most people actually have - screenshots, installers, old downloads, and loose notes - and handles it with safe, local defaults.

No rule-builder to learn. Sensible defaults are on from the first launch - tune them only if you want to. It lives in your menu bar and never nags: one gentle reminder on trial day six, and that's it.
