Clean

Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
Clean your desktop with one click or clean automatically every day.
Why you need Clean:
Take a look at your desktop right now and think -- how many of those files do you actually need?
You could probably remove most of them. But from time to time, there is some useful file on your desktop, which you want to keep.
Clean moves all your files to folder you specify and organizes them by month. So you get a clean desktop every day, but your files are never lost and you can get back to them anytime you want!
Features:
* Clean desktop manually
* Start agent and just enjoy nice, cleaned desktop
* Group files into folders by month, or by day
* Setup how often you want your desktop cleaned (every day or every week)

Here's how to make it even better
Here's the procedure you want to follow in order to create an alias on your desktop which takes you to the cleaned up content.
Here's what you want to do:
1) Install the app (Clean)
2) Within the app, click on "Settings"
3) enable the checkbox "Skip items with labels"
4) Click on the "Status" button
5) Click on "Clean now"
6) In Finder, navigate to your ~/Documents folder
7) Ctrl-click the "Desktop" subfolder, and select "Make Alias"
8) Drag the new item called "Desktop alias" to your desktop
9) Ctrl-click the "Desktop alias" object which is now on your desktop, and select "Get Info"
10) Under "Label", choose one of the various colors
That's it.
Since we've configured the app to ignore any items on our desktop which have been configured to use a label, our desktop alias item will remain on the desktop indefinitely.
Almost Perfect
Clean does what it says it does with minimal fuss. You can choose any folder, including the desktop, and let Clean clean it on a daily or monthly basis. My desktop is clean, but my Pictures folder is a big mess and gets messier by the day. I got Clean for it. The reason why I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of a very important feature: the ability to preset the format of the folders that Clean creates. For daily updates it currently creates folders like 2011 September 12. What I want to do is the option to change that to 2011_09_12. With this option this nifty utility is definitely a 5 star. Thanks!
Undo button please
