Folder Cleanup
Keep your Downloads folder and Desktop tidy, automatically.
Folder Cleanup is a Mac app that keeps folders such as Downloads, Desktop and your screenshots folder tidy by moving old files to Trash on rules you set.
In development Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later [to confirm].
Downloads and Desktop turn into a junk drawer.
Installers, PDFs you opened once, zip files and hundreds of screenshots collect in Downloads and on the Desktop until you can’t find anything.
Folder Cleanup tidies those folders for you on rules you set, moving old files to Trash so they are out of the way but not gone.
