Sweep
Tidy your desktop and downloads in five minutes.
from landfill to tidy
nothing is ever lost
per decision
Sweep treats a cluttered folder as decision debt, not a storage problem. It groups the mess into a handful of decisions you triage with one key each — and everything you archive goes to a recoverable Holding Pen, so you move fast without fear.
A cluttered desktop is not a storage problem, it is decision debt — every file is a decision someone postponed, and tidying means making hundreds of them one at a time. So nobody starts.
Sweep does the grouping for you and turns the pile into a short deck of obvious decisions. You triage with one key each; anything you archive lands in a recoverable Holding Pen, so a wrong call is never permanent.
How it works
Three steps from sign-up to something useful. No manual, no onboarding call.
- 01
Scan a zone
Point Sweep at your Desktop or Downloads. Scanning is read-only — it never touches a file without your say-so.
- 02
Triage the deck
Sweep deals the mess as group cards, biggest wins first. Keep, archive or open each with a single keystroke.
- 03
Reclaim the space
Archived items move to the Holding Pen — recoverable with one tap, even after a restart. Nothing is ever deleted.
This is the real grouping engine, running live on a sample messy Downloads folder. Triage a few cards the way you would in the app — keep what matters, archive the rest, and watch the space add up.

Common questions
Could it delete something I need?
No. Sweep never deletes — it moves items to a recoverable Holding Pen, and undo works even after the app restarts.
Does it touch my files without asking?
Scanning is read-only. Sweep only ever moves a file you have approved.
What does it run on?
Windows first, built on the same web stack as the rest of C4 so a Mac version can follow.
