Your desktop's chaos nemesis. Finally.
You know that desktop situation? The one where screenshots multiply like rabbits and random PDFs just... appear?
RackOff swoops in, sorts it all into tidy dated folders, then gets out of your way. One click. Desktop's clean. You're back to work (or whatever).
Three ways to organize your chaos:
- Quick Archive → enabled matching files into daily folders
- Sort by Type → enabled matching files find their tribes
- Smart Clean → you decide what goes where
# Build it
./build.sh
# Test the cleaner safely with fake files
./scripts/smoke-test.sh
# Install it
cp -r RackOff.app /Applications/
# Use it
Click the sparkles in your menu barToggle what bugs you:
- Screenshots that pile up during debugging sessions
- Documents that drift in from who knows where
- Media files having a party on your desktop
- Archives that seemed important last Tuesday
Pick your cleaning vibe:
- Manual (when the mood strikes)
- On launch and scheduled cleaning are in the code, but the Preferences UI needs a wiring pass before release
Everything lands safe in ~/Documents/Archive/[organized by date or type]
Nothing's deleted. Just... relocated.
RackOff is in product/test mode. Before App Store work, the priority is making sure the cleaner is safe, predictable, and honest about what the Preferences window can actually control.
See PROJECT_STATUS.md and TESTING.md for the current state.
RackOff does one thing: it cleans your desktop without making it weird.
Want to tune Smart Clean destinations? Right-click file types in Smart Clean mode. Custom folder picking still needs a wiring pass. Bored of sparkles? Right-click the menu bar icon for options. Miss that one file? It's chilling in the Archive folder.
No accounts to make. No cloud to feed. No AI watching. Just a clean desktop when you need one.
Built in Bangkok with plenty of coffee and mild frustration at my own desktop.
Part of SoftStack. $1 apps that do one thing well and don't make it weird. Light touch. Real work.
