What you get

Keep your Downloads tidy without returning to yesterday’s cleanup.

You can decide what happens to a file as soon as it finishes downloading, rather than leave yourself another cleanup job. Tinyyy Sweep shows a small notification where you can open the file, mark it temporary, or move it to the Trash. For installers, you can combine opening and deletion in one action.

You choose how long temporary files stay by typing a duration such as “2h” or “1d 4h,” or use a default timer to avoid repeating the decision. When time runs out, they go to the macOS Trash, not permanent deletion. If you unzip a temporary archive, its extracted folder gets the same timer.

You can also send files worth keeping to a folder by typing part of its name, without opening Finder. From the menu bar, you can check countdowns and cancel a file’s scheduled removal if you change your mind.

  • Skip repeat cleanup

    You can give one-off downloads an expiry time so they move to the Trash without another decision later.

  • File keepers without Finder

    You can find a destination by typing part of its folder name, or create a new folder on the spot.

  • Avoid leftover extracted folders

    When you unzip a temporary archive, its extracted folder inherits the timer, so you don’t need to mark it separately.

  • Keep control over removal

    You can review live countdowns and keep a file before expiry. Removed files go to the Trash rather than being permanently deleted.

Best for

  • You regularly download installers or one-off PDFs
  • You leave ZIPs and extracted folders in Downloads
  • You want to sort new downloads without opening Finder

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if you already sort or delete each download as soon as you use it.

From the developer

Tinyyy Sweep is a Downloads cleaner for Mac that lives in your menu bar. Most downloads are temporary: installers, one-off PDFs, zips. Nobody deletes them, so they pile up. When a download finishes, Tinyyy Sweep pops up a small toast so you can decide the file's fate right then.
