@macgems Hi! I make Tidy, a $9 menu bar app that names files by reading what's inside them (on-device OCR) and tidies Downloads on its own. Just shipped 2.1 with 9 user-requested features. Happy to send a copy if it looks interesting: tidymacapp.com

🧵 Why modern software feels like a scam and how a solo developer in Chile built a $9 lifetime alternative.
A thread on subscription fatigue and taking back control of your Mac. 💻👇
1/7 Nowadays, if you want an app to clean up your computer, it’s $40/year. To organize your files? Another subscription. We’ve become renters of our own daily work tools. It needs to stop.
2/7 Sebastián, an independent developer, got sick of it. He thought: "Why should users pay month after month for tasks their own computer can easily handle locally?" That’s how Tidy was born.
3/7 Tidy is a tiny app that sits in your menu bar. No data tracking. No monthly credit card charges. You pay $9 ONCE, and it’s yours forever. What does it do? Automated magic using local AI.
4/7 While big corporations send your files to cloud servers for analysis (killing your privacy), Tidy leverages Apple Intelligence’s local Neural Engine. No one—not even us—sees your files.
5/7 It auto-renames chaotic screenshots by reading the text inside them, auto-trashes orphan .dmg installers, and cleans your desktop in a second based on rules you write in plain English.
6/7 Supporting indie developers is the only way to fight corporate subscription greed. You don’t need to spend a fortune to keep your Mac productive and clutter-free.
7/7 If you want to try it or support a solo indie project, grab it here: tidymacapp.com
If you hate software subscriptions as much as we do, a RT helps beat the algorithm and spread the word! 🔄

I bought my own Mac app today, just to test the checkout.
Downloaded the .dmg. Dragged it to Applications. Opened it.
Then I went looking for the installer to clean up.
It was already in the Trash.
