Tidzy vs Finder search
Finder’s ⌘F search is powerful once you’ve built the right rules. Tidzy builds them for you from a sentence.
Short answer
Finder search needs you to add rules one at a time. Tidzy turns “zips I downloaded over 100 mb” into those rules instantly, adds sources and text inside images, and shows results as a thumbnail grid grouped by Today, Yesterday and Last 7 days.
Side by side
| Finder search | Tidzy | |
|---|---|---|
| Type, date and size filters | Yes, rule by rule | Yes, from one sentence |
| Saved searches | Smart Folders | Smart Shelves |
| Where a file came from | Get Info, one file at a time | Searchable and browsable |
| Text inside screenshots | No | Yes, on-device |
| Grouped by Today / Yesterday / Last 7 days | No | Yes |
| Undo for moves, renames and clean-ups | Edit › Undo, recent actions | Full History, any time later |
Where Finder still wins
Finder is still the place for tags, network drives and arranging folders by hand. Tidzy shows files in Finder with ⌘Return, so you can jump across whenever you need to.
