A looping sample stages duplicate lecture notes, keeps an invoice, renames a proposal, files it into Projects, reviews the staged file, and moves it to Trash. Then the sample starts again. No files on your computer are used.

idea where to start.

I opened my Mac after finals and wondered when I’d last organized anything. Then I opened Downloads. Whiplash. Deciding what to keep was easy. Opening files, dragging them around, and finding my place again was what turned it into an afternoon.

So I built DClutter. That afternoon became a few minutes here and there, one file at a time. Somewhere between old assignments and forgotten projects, cleaning up started to feel like going down memory lane.

Who would’ve thought sorting files could be a little enjoyable?
