Getting Started
This Apple utility tool is from the house of a leading Mac developer company, Hyperbolic Software. Besides Tidy up, the company also provides other tools that can increase the functionalities and optimizations for Mac Devices.To get started with the tool, you’ll need to download Tidy Up 4. Although it is a premium tool, the company offers a trial version which is available on their official website. The trial is free and has all the essential features but for a limited time. You can download it from here.
Coming back to the setup, I deliberately started the Tidy Up on my messy Mac Pro. It automatically guides you towards all the essential features and the functionalities. So, I followed on and ran the scanning process. The program deeply scanned through almost 1,000 media files and while I had a full of coffee. The program displays a total number of all the scanned files and how much are left to be scanned. Though the progress bar was not much of help.

Review of Tidy Up
Tidy Up 4 has a lot of improved features and improvements from its prequel. All new look and designed interface make the functionalities, and all the premium features stand out. It is a power-pack combination of performance and minimal looks.
Although the simple mode was able to satisfy all my needs. You can also use the Advanced Mode to search for duplicate emails, though it doesn’t seem to be working with the IMAP accounts.

Moving onto the next part, here are the most of the premium and amazing features that Tidy up offers with the paid version.
Features
- You can quickly search and delete for duplicate files and packages by the type, creator, name, label, visibility, owner application, content, extension, time modified; time created and even the date/age. For specific media files, you can also filter the search by the duration for an MP3 or AAC file and metadata, Aperture, iPhoto for a photo or video file. Once the deletion is completed, you can also sync it with iTunes or the Cloud.
- Tidy Up offers different types of the search modes – Basic and Advanced. The basic one is enough to scan all the duplicates and includes more than 90 pre-defined searches. The advanced one is mostly recommended for the customized searches. It could be used for the specific file searches.
- The software has an inbuilt security system feature that keeps at least one of the duplicate copy protected. Also, if you’ve accidentally deleted all of the files, then you can easily recover them from the trash unless you’ve emptied it.

- One of the best things about the app is that you can get a full preview of all the scanned files. Whether it is a media file such as photo, video, music or files such as graphics, PDFs or documents. You can preview them and can either group them according to the file size, type, modification or duration. There is a “Smart Box” option which lets you easily organize all the found items for further deletion and modification.

Pricing
With so many necessary features, Tidy Up is obviously a premium product but how much does it cost? Well, the latest version, i.e. Tidy up 4 is available for a price of $30 and runs on OX Yosemite. The company recommends the users to try out the trial version first. It would enlighten you up with all the premium features you can avail with the paid one.Moreover, if you already own the previous version, then you can easily upgrade it for $20 upfront.
