I have used Tidy Up since its creation and its predecessor Doublet Scan before that and I can honestly say that there is no Shareware Mac program that I have been more satisfied with.

Across a variety of Macs and more operating systems than I care to remember, Tidy Up has always helped me to keep my files in order with it's easy-to-use interface and outstanding developer support.

The latest upgrade is well worth the cost and I'm looking forward to the continued development of this outstanding program for years to come.

For my needs it's not worth the $12 (soon to be $20) upgrade.
I think I only used version 2 once, and went back to Araxis Find Duplicate Files.
Araxis decreased its price, has very reasonable upgrade fees, and is the one that has outperformed every other duplicate finder I've tried. It needs bigger font sizes, but in terms of functionality it is superb.
I won't rate version 3 since I have not tried it and don't intend to.

The new version (3.0) is nice, but it’s way too expensive. I’ve bought more than 30 shareware apps, and I don’t pirate anything. But I won’t buy shareware that’s overpriced if comparable but far cheaper and/or free apps are available — even apps that are considered far superior to their rivals. That is the case with Tidy Up, so I won’t be giving my Visa card number to Hyperbolic Software until they adjust its price in line with its very capable competition.

Actually the upgrade is $12. I heard back from the developer within minutes of asking how to do this and was able to upgrade at this price. WELL worth the $12 for the new features. Great support.

Just had to write and say what an awesome program Tidy Up! is. I've been dreading for months tackling the issue of deleting duplicates in my iPhoto collection. I had a little over 51,800 photos which I knew I could could not be possible I've tried many other duplicate annihilator programs and was to too afraid to delete the photos once the dupes were collected. In fact, I was afraid to delete them and would save them and re-merge over and over again. Well, your program is so easy to use and helped me eliminate, safely, over 15.000 dupes within 2 days so far. However, I still have more checking to do. I thought it would take forever. Thank you so much!

Great when you are starting to run out of space, it works great and has a very nice user interface.

I will say however that it has crashed a few tmies for me in Lion.

Why isn't this by default a OS X tool? Highly useable and great UI.
It just beats all other comparable apps.

A bit steep price though.

Have only tried the Mail duplicate function a little in the latest version so not sure I should rate it. Apple Mail in Lion is keen on duplicating messages (and can itself find a few random (?) ones, but offers no (clear) method of deleting them).

Anyway, TidyUp finds the duplicates (all of them, it seems like, - at least over 20000 in my message folders). Then I deleted 10 duplicates and was told to wait for this to be synced with Mail (which opened automatically). Then I tried to open the one single message that should be left in Mail, but even though Mail list the message in the mailbox, it cannot open it now. Alright, I guess one have to rebuild the mail folder and that helped. But next time TidyUp searched for duplicates it found more duplicates (which may be due to the rebuilding, but that did not happen when I tried the same procedure again, so maybe the duplicates that Mail creates upon rebuilding in Mail only happen the first time (in Lion)).

Quick Look and preview stopped working in TidyUp, but it did not happen again. I had a look at TidyUp before, but found it too complicated (like SuperSync for iTunes) even for me who works with computers, but the language and options seems to have become less confusing now.

This program has serious flaws. It will identify duplicate files on my external drive. However, it does not allow me to delete any of the files. I can copy and move them to a different folder. That only makes the problem worse.

The program says that I do not have the necessary permissions to delete the duplicate files. I have made sure to adjust the permission settings on my Macbook Pro and my external drive to allow such permissions. I even used another third-party program to make such adjustments.

I have done everything that the support rep has suggested and the program doesn't work after hours of frustration. I don't recommend this program unless they can fix the bugs.

This app works great for me. Perhaps there's a software conflict on your machine? I don't have ANY of the bugs you mention.

Whenever a piece of software acts different, difficult or crazy, I suspect something else is causing this calamity on my system. That's when I reboot to another partition and run DiskWarrior or some other yet similar program. Then after rebooting, everything's, usually, back to normal.

Great looking GUI. Makes it very pleasant to work with.
A bit expensive though. A price tag of $10 would be fair.

All in all TidyUp is extremely helpful for me sorting out the "mess" of Duplicates, drag&drop--backups etc. on my hard drives.

I recently installed the new version 2.2.3 and used it for scanning some large hard drives 100-300 GB (about 180.000 files were scanned).

It happened several times to me that TidyUp suddenly crashed. (I'm sorry, I can't see a certain action when that happens - I'm searching for big folders containing duplicates, creating a new basket and move or trash the content).
Does anyone else encounter this behaviour?

How do I install the MP3 Pearl Module? I can't do any type of search because of the error that TidyUp can't perform the search without the module.

Tidy Up is a complete duplicate finder and disk tidiness utility.

Here are a few Tidy Up! features:
  • With Tidy Up! you can search for duplicate files and packages; by the owner application, content, type, creator, extension, time modified, time created, name, label, visibility and date/age. You can also search by the tag, duration and bit installments of MP3 and AAC sound files and EXIF metadata, search the contents of the iPhoto, Aperture, iTunes, iPod databases and Mail mailboxes, and synchronize deletions with iPhoto, Mail and iTunes.
  • Tidy Up! allows you to search for duplicate folders; by name, date modified, date created, label visibility, empty folders, their contents and more.
  • Tidy Up! is fast, it doesn't index the scanned volumes, so you don't waste additional precious space. With its multitasking capability, you can do more searches at a time and take advantage of the latest Macintosh computers and operating systems.
  • Tidy Up! comes with a search mode called Basic Mode*, which includes more than 90 pre-defined searches. For a customized strategy, you can opt for Strategy Wizard, which based on your choices creates the appropriate criteria with which to search for duplicates and a new "Smart Basket" that will contain the items to be removed, or the manual method, the most customized method offered.
  • Tidy Up! has a security system that assures you will keep at least one file of the duplicate group on your disk, the ability to undo copied and moved items and the ability to restore trashed items as long as the trash is not emptied, even after a restart of the computer.
  • Tidy Up! offers a full-size preview of the most commonly used files such as: audio, media, text, pdf, graphics, fonts and more... and Quick Look like in the Finder (only from OS X 10.5). One of the most interesting features of Tidy Up! is the capability to separate, for quick and easy organization, found items using custom criteria via "Smart Baskets." It also includes the possibility to choose, from the items belonging to the supported applications, a specific album , playlist or mailbox.
  • Tidy Up! allows you to trash, move, replace the moved and trashed items with aliases or symbolic links, burn, assign colored Finder labels and export into html and text files all found items.
  • Tidy Up! is fully customizable and allows you to create your preferred workspace.
