Three printed photos arranged on a bright table
Your library stays yours

A simple rhythm

A clearer library in three steps.

Photo Tidy finds the patterns. You make the decisions.

01

Open your library

Check your Mac and library access, then scan the previews already on your computer.

02

See what connects

A local AI model groups similar shots and lets you search photos with everyday words.

03

Review in Photos

Gather choices in a review album. Photo Tidy never edits or deletes a photo.

Privacy you can understand

Your photos don't go anywhere.

Scanning, search, and grouping happen on your Mac. On first use, Photo Tidy downloads its AI model once. No photos are uploaded.

After setup, go ahead and turn off Wi-Fi. The app won't mind.

Before you begin

Made for your Mac.

Photo Tidy checks compatibility and library access in the app before you scan.

A quick note for first launch.

This build is not yet signed or notarized by Apple, so macOS may block it the first time. Drag Photo Tidy into Applications, try opening it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Only open software you downloaded from a source you trust.
