I’m really lazy when it comes to files on my desktop. Normally I just let the desktop fill up with files till all of my three screens are full of them; often I even let them stack before I take action. Somehow I just don’t see cleaning up my desktop as productive work and so it isn’t surprising that my desktop gets unusable pretty often. Even worse, it can actually seriously slow down OS X if you have hundreds of icons spread over three different screens. Now of course I wouldn’t tell you about my secret weakness if there wouldn’t be a solution to it.
The solution comes by a shareware app called Chaos Antidote. What the app does is move all the files of selected folders, normally your desktop, into new folders based on their filetype, images into an image folder, downloads into a download folder and so on. Additional you can tell the app which files or folders should stay where they are, this way the app only takes care of files it should take care of. You can try out the app 30 days for free or directly buy it for $10.
