Teaching generates a lot of files — worksheets, PDFs, images, downloads, scans, and resources saved “just for now”. Over time, folders become cluttered, and finding what you need takes longer than it should.
Tidy File is a small, fast, and practical desktop tool designed to help teachers quickly organise files and folders into clear, sensible folders that it automatically creates based on file type and name. It does not delete any files, just copies them into new categorised folder to assist in tidying your hard drives.
✨ What This Tool Does
