Tidy v0.1.0-beta.1 — experimental beta

Experimental beta

Tidy is a native Mac file organizer. Choose a folder, describe a sorting or renaming
task, and run a validated plan using a local AI model. This beta includes the
approved raccoon icon, native Organize/History workspace, model setup/storage,
bounded text/PDF/OCR naming and persistent best-effort undo.

Use disposable, backed-up test files. Clear requests change files without a
preview. Undo is best-effort, not a backup.

Download and install

• Download Tidy-0.1.0-beta.1-arm64.dmg and SHA256SUMS below.
• Verify with shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS from the download directory.
• Quit other Tidy builds, open the DMG, drag Tidy Beta.app to Applications and
  open normally. Do not strip quarantine or disable Gatekeeper if opening fails.
• This is Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized and stapled. It is a direct download,
  not a Mac App Store release. Notarization does not establish product quality.
• Initial model setup requires explicit consent and a separate download of about
  2.28 GB. No account, payment, cloud inference or automatic telemetry.

Compatibility and known limitations

• Built for Apple silicon, macOS 14+. Model setup currently requires at least
  16 GB unified memory, but that floor and other Macs/OS versions are not qualified.
• Observations are from an M4 Max / 36 GB / macOS 27.0.1. No hardware is formally
  qualified. Do not interpret this beta as a verified supported-hardware list.
• Provider nonhydration/revocation, broader real-world naming, memory pressure,
  process/power-loss stress and isolated destructive lifecycle checks remain
  unverified beyond recorded tests. Prefer ordinary local test folders, not
  personal synced folders; existing sync services can transmit file changes.
• Accessibility/system-effects review (#18) and clean-user GUI installation are
  explicitly owner-deferred, not passed. Earlier formal native-offline,
  undo-cancellation and diagnostic-export reruns remain deferred as recorded.
• Beta and existing Tidy builds share the same app identity and storage. A renamed
  app is not an isolated installation. Do not erase its container/history/models.
• Tidy remains a working name with clearance unresolved. Source is MIT licensed;
  dependency and model licenses/notices remain separate and are bundled as applicable.

Verification and provenance

• App source: 6bcb430a8680d22d36ec63a64e281f3368dea80b (merged through PR #20).
• Full debug/hosted optimized suites, mounted beta/legacy images, native parser
  containment and packaged offline real-model smoke pass. The real-provider
  fixture is explicitly skipped, not an executed pass.
• Unchanged synthetic corpus, agent assessment: 21/22 usable proposed names and
  21/24 useful eligible cryptic names. The 100-file task including loading took
  5.98 s on the observed host. These are not independent or hardware qualification.
• Apple Accepted submission: f1536e2f-958b-453f-87c7-c706dbd504cd, zero issues.
• Final DMG SHA-256:
  84fd9283890a23423b1ff3cccae7a7fe185696138c6cc71b45c9f46328f61797.
