If you’re anything like me your desktop gets randomized and chaotic everyday.
With the new Stacks feature, Apple made an attempt to solve this—however it becomes a pain to sort through the stack to grab the files you’re currently working on.
I’ve been using an Automator function that I built that grabs all the files on my desktop and throws them in an inbox.
How to keep your desktop clean
- Download the “Clean Desktop” Automator function
- Make a desktop folder called “Inbox”
- Use command space and start typing “clean desktop” and hit enter when it pops up.

4. Hit Command-R to run the action.

5. Hit command-A to select all of the files on the desktop and hit enter.

6. Clean Desktop—once you do it a couple times it takes < 10 seconds to do.
Let me know if there’s a better way to do it I’m mikeyanderson on Twitter.
