What you get

You get tidier folders by deciding what to keep, move, or trash.

You can clear a crowded Downloads folder by reviewing files one at a time rather than sorting through everything in Finder. Swipe left to trash something, right to keep it, or drop it into another folder. You make a decision about each file, so old installers and unwanted documents don't keep sitting beside things you need.

You can also handle new downloads before they become another backlog. A popup in the notch prompts you a few seconds after a file arrives, giving you the choice to deal with it or snooze it until later. When you need to rename, copy, or share a file, you can do that without opening Finder.

You're not limited to Downloads: you can use the same process for your Desktop, screenshots, or project folders. If you make the wrong choice, you can undo any action. Leftovers collects no data from you.

  • Clear your file backlog

    You work through files individually, keeping what matters and moving or trashing the rest.

  • Catch new downloads early

    You get a notch prompt shortly after a download arrives, so you can sort it now or snooze it.

  • Skip extra Finder trips

    You can rename, copy, and share files directly while you sort.

  • Correct sorting mistakes

    You can undo every action, including moving a file to the wrong folder or trashing it by mistake.

Best for

  • You have months of unsorted downloads
  • You want to sort downloads as they arrive
  • You need to tidy Desktop or project folders

Skip it if

You don't need it if you already keep your folders tidy and prefer handling files in Finder.

From the developer

Leftovers is a downloads folder organizer for Mac. Your Downloads folder is probably a graveyard of old DMGs, random PDFs, and files you meant to sort out six months ago. Leftovers fixes that with a swipe — keep, trash, or move files one by one, without it feeling like a chore.
