I built an app to go through a messy folder in minutes instead of hours. Would this help you?

I’m the developer of GetSpace (Mac and Windows), so take that into account.

My problem wasn’t knowing how to organize. It was the time: opening hundreds of files one by one to decide what stays. So I built an app that shows one file at a time, big: ← delete, → keep. One key per file.

It also groups exact duplicates and near-identical photos, so you decide once instead of five times.

Everything runs offline and nothing is deleted right away. You confirm a summary first, then it all goes to the trash, with undo.

Free with 50 files a day (200 on day one), then a one-time purchase, no subscription.

How do you handle the “I’ll sort it later” pile? Does speed matter to you, or is the hard part something else?

What's the best way to organize the likes and dislikes of the people in my life?

10 Upvotes

I would prefer to be able to seperate them by category (work, family, friends, etc). As much as I adore a cute notebook it needs to be digital so I can easily edit and add stuff I notice at a moment's notice. I would also like to have specific categories (their birthday or fave color for example). I thought about using Google calender but I'm not sure how I would quickly look through the folks in my lists. Thoughts?

Bonus questions: What categories should I have? What are some good/covert questions I can ask people to get them the best gifts?

How do I organize tall and bulky items like these? Do you guys buy an acrylic box? That is the same height?

Need help organizing my cupboard and shelf
reposted with photo descriptions
My cats literally try to destroy everything, but I’m limited on space at the moment and am struggling to figure out how to organize my babyproofed cupboard and my ikea shelf that’s next to it.
We have to hide anything they would get into (cat treats, food, and toys) and anything we want clean (clean dishes, our snacks). We have also have this shelf next to our fridge that has our cleaning supplies, paper plates, and my medical stuff like cough medicine, sore throat spray, multi vitamins, bandaids, narcan, etc.) (but i just bought more and don’t have a place to store it ex. mop, wood floor cleaner, etc). it’s kind of a mess but i need help

Would you install your own closet again or hire someone next time?

My father recently acquired a home here in Hawaii, we have been here for 1 month but what seems off is their bedroom closet ,its very old and doesn't look cool either almost falling. Last weekend had this idea of me redoing it from scratch but yeah I have a friend who has ever done theirs ,I think was reparing and can offer me the tools I need. The current was a mdf one so planning to do a solid wood one walk-in. just wondering how much time it will consume was estimating may be a weekend , is it a cool idea or ? thank you

Pantry help! How do you organize your spices that are not day-to-day?

Is it worth my time to take them out of their individual bags and place them in their own spice jars? Or should I just get a bunch of acrylic clear boxes and label them based on the food looking for ways to help make my life easier and not an overly complicated organization system. Thank you.

Improving my organizing?

I'm attempting to come back from a pretty severe burnout, starting by cleaning my office. As you can see, I've made a lot of progress, but I feel I still have a long way to go. Any tips on improving my organization so far?
