Description
Tidzy finds files on your Mac by what's in them. It reads the text in screenshots, photos and PDFs, so "wifi password" finds the screenshot, and you can copy the text right out. It also clears junk safely and spots passwords left lying around. All on-device.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a simple UI with desktop search is vibe-codeable, but running local OCR, credential regex/heuristics, and fast indexing across file trees on macOS requires native framework integration.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/SwiftUI utilizing Apple's Vision framework for offline OCR, PDFKit for document text extraction, and Core Spotlight or SQLite (FTS5 / sqlite-vec) for indexing. Hard parts involve background file system crawling efficiency (dispatch queues, file system events via FSEvents) and sandboxing permissions without draining battery or CPU.
