Keep your local computer tidy

Two small routines keep your desktop and downloads easy to scan. Creaiter never accesses your files: you grant Codex one folder at a time, review its plan, and decide on every change yourself.

Tools

  • OpenAI / Codex

Input → Codex → Output

From file clutter to two clear inboxes

Codex helps with the inventory and sorting plan. You keep every decision, and each routine starts from a fresh checklist.

Routines

Two routines, one clean start

Open only the folder you are reviewing. Copy the inspect-first prompt, review Codex's plan, and then check off your manual verification steps.

Daily2 min

Keep the desktop clear

Trigger
At the end of the workday or when loose files would slow down the next start.
Target state
No unchecked file remains loose on the desktop.

Inspect-first prompt for Codex

Work only inside the currently shared Desktop folder and start in read-only mode.

1. List only visible items at the top level. Do not open subfolders.
2. Skip hidden files, links, system items, and files that may be open, uploading, or syncing.
3. Create a table with: item, suggestion (keep / move / review later), proposed destination, and reason.
4. Make no change yet. Stop after the plan and wait for my explicit approval for each individual item.

Even after approval: never use rm, permanently delete anything, automatically move anything to trash, or act outside explicitly shared folders. Leave unclear items unchanged.

Manual checklist

0/5 steps completed

Done when

No unchecked file remains loose on the desktop, and nothing was deleted unseen or permanently.

Weekly8 min

Keep Downloads tidy

Trigger
On Fridays or when important files become hard to find among new downloads.
Target state
Every remaining download has an intentional next action.

Inspect-first prompt for Codex

Work only inside the currently shared Downloads folder and start in read-only mode.

1. List only visible top-level items with name, type, size, and modified date. Do not open subfolders.
2. Skip hidden files, links, system items, incomplete downloads, and files that are currently used or syncing.
3. Group the rest as documents, media, archives, installers, possible duplicates, and unclear. Treat similar names only as a review hint.
4. Create a sorting plan with proposed destinations and reasons. Make no change yet and wait for my explicit approval for each individual item.

Even after approval: never use rm, permanently delete anything, automatically empty trash, or act outside explicitly shared folders. Leave unclear items unchanged.

Manual checklist

0/6 steps completed

Done when

Downloads contains only active downloads or files with an intentionally chosen next step.

Final review

  • Desktop and Downloads were reviewed separately and only at the top level.
  • Every move was understandable and explicitly approved one by one.
  • Unknown, syncing, or incomplete files remained unchanged.
  • Trash, cloud sync, and important backups were deliberately checked.

Privacy setting

With your consent, PostHog EU measures which pages are opened and additionally records your session: mouse movement, clicks, scrolling and the rendered page content are stored as a replayable reconstruction. Typed input is masked before sending. The contents of sign-in, sign-up, password recovery, the founder chat, the newsletter field, your email display, your quiz answers and the checklists are not recorded at all; on the sign-in and sign-up pages recording is paused. Addresses are always stored without query parameters. A random device identifier and technical connection data such as the IP address are processed as well. In addition, strictly defined usage events are measured: how far a post was read, which article element was used, which call to action was clicked, how a newsletter sign-up ended, how far you get in a course or in the feed (recording only whether a task was correct or incorrect, never your answer itself), which video you start, whether you switch the language, and how a sign-in or sign-up attempt ended — without the email address, without the password, and without the error message. Only values from a fixed list and whole numbers from fixed ranges are transmitted — no input and no free text. We also label production, internal, and automated test visits separately and derive whether a visit came from a known interface such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity from a known referring domain or a strictly allowed campaign value. The full referring address and query parameters are not sent, and this cannot identify a specific AI model. If PostHog's IP-based geo enrichment is enabled in the project, the service can derive an approximate country, continent, and region; we do not request browser or GPS location. Every visit is also assigned to a page area from a fixed list (for example home, blog, tools, account) — the area is sent, not the address. Page loading and stability metrics are measured as well (Core Web Vitals: LCP, CLS, INP, FCP), without network payloads. A click on a link leading away from the site is recorded only as the target domain from a fixed list, without path, query parameters, or link text. For the Idea Wheel, AI Labelling and Limit Reset tools only the kind of action is measured — spin, option changed, copy or export, for instance — never your input and never a result.

Without your consent no analytics code is loaded and nothing is recorded. You can withdraw at any time: withdrawal ends collection immediately; data already collected may have been transmitted by then and is deleted after the storage period.
