In a few words.

Boilerplate · one paragraph

Tiidy is a menu bar manager for macOS 27. Setup takes about a minute: each app stays in the bar, tucks behind a broom, or is buried for Option-click. Apps can come out by themselves during calls, on a VPN or at a desk. Apps you rarely use can nap to free memory, and open again when clicked. Tidy suggestions never move anything without your yes. Tiidy uses Accessibility only and keeps your layout and icon click history on your Mac. Made by Petar Ceklic in Perth, Australia, it costs US$9 once and has a 7-day free trial.

Tiidy is a menu bar manager for macOS 27. It gives apps three places for their icons: In the bar, Tucked, which shows when you click the broom, and Buried, which shows only when you Option-click. Wi-Fi, Sound, Control Center and the clock stay visible. Setup is one card per app with a suggestion for each, sorted with the arrow keys or accepted in one click. There's no dragging icons around.

Once it's set up, Tiidy stays tidy on its own. A newly installed app's icon is tucked and asks where it should live. At most once a week, it suggests changes: tuck the icons you haven't clicked, bring back the ones you use every day, and let heavy apps you don't use nap. Nothing moves without your yes. Tucked apps come out when they matter: call apps while your mic or camera is on, a VPN's icon while it's connected, chosen apps at a desk. When a tucked icon has something new to say, like a sync app's status, it comes forward and stays until you click it, or until the news is over. Apps you rarely use can nap to give your Mac its memory back, and start again when you click them.

Tiidy needs only the Accessibility permission, never Screen Recording. It has no analytics and no accounts, and it goes online only to check for updates and licences. Quit it and the icons of your running apps come back. Apps that were napping or quit stay closed until you open them. It costs US$9 once for up to three Macs, including all 1.x updates, with a 7-day free trial that needs no card.

S5.4 · BrandA few notes, kindly meant

House style.

Name

Tiidy

Two i's, one capital.

Always spelled Tiidy, never Tidy or TiiDy. The three places for icons are always named In the bar, Tucked and Buried.

Colour

Yellow, used sparingly.

Tiidy yellow, #FAE74E, is the only colour. Everything else is ink and paper. Please don't recolour the broom or set it on a busy background.

Type

Three typefaces.

The website uses Archivo for headlines, Newsreader for reading and IBM Plex Mono for the small print. The app itself uses the Mac's own system font.
