Tidy: Sort Apps Into Folders

Your phone has three hundred apps on it. Tidy files them.

One tap sorts every app on your device into named folders — Talk, Work,
Money, Games, Photos — and lays them out on a grid with no holes in it. It
takes a few seconds, it shows you exactly what it plans to do first, and
you can undo it.

WHAT IT DOES

• Works out categories on your device, from what each app declares it can
do. Nothing about your apps is uploaded. Tidy has no internet permission
at all — check the permissions list.
• Shows you the plan before it runs: the folders you will get, how many
apps move, how many screens you save. Nothing changes until you tap
Apply, and one tap puts it back.
• Never leaves gaps. Positions come from the order of your icons, so
uninstalling an app closes the hole behind it instead of leaving a
black square.
• Names folders in words. "Work A–I" and "Work J–Z", not "Folder 1" and
"Folder 2" — a large category splits into ranges you can read from the
outside.

MAKE IT YOURS

• Create your own categories. Name one, pick an icon from a browsable set,
choose a colour. Tidy keeps it through every re-sort and never files
anything into it by itself.
• Change any app's category in two taps — or tick a dozen apps and re-file
them together, from the grid or from inside folders.
• Drag apps between folders, onto the dock, or across screens.
• Group by smart folders, A–Z, how often you open things, or icon colour.
• Order inside them by name, most opened, most screen time, recently used,
newest, or rainbow.

THE REST

• App drawer with search that understands initials — type "gm" for Gmail.
• Adjustable grid, icon size, labels, light and dark themes, Material You.
• A dock that follows the apps you actually open, or stays where you put it.
• Layout history — every re-sort saves a restore point, and "put it back
how Tidy found it" always works.
• Hide apps from home without uninstalling them.
• Optional background re-sort, with an undo notification.

PERMISSIONS

Usage access is optional. Grant it and Tidy can order apps by how often you
open them and keep your most-used apps in the dock. Refuse it and
everything else still works. The counts are read on the device and never
leave it.

No account. No sign-in. No ads. No trackers. No internet permission.
