Lab Verdict

Tidy is suitable for macOS users who want to organize and search a local backlog of scanned PDFs and images without subscription fees or cloud uploads. The catch is that it only runs on macOS 14 and up, has a $9 one-time cost, and indexes the content separately rather than writing a text layer directly back into the files.
