AppTidy
Microsoft Intune

Deploy AppTidy with Company Portal.

Use Intune's macOS DMG app flow to upload AppTidy, detect it by bundle ID, and assign it as available or required for managed Macs.

Enterprise overview Jamf guide

This guide assumes AppTidy is distributed as a signed and notarized DMG from app-tidy.com. Validate the final DMG on a pilot Mac before assigning it broadly.

App Details

App type macOS app (DMG)
Bundle ID com.apptidy.AppTidy
Install path /Applications/AppTidy.app
Minimum OS macOS 13 or later

Step-by-Step Deployment

Download the final DMG

Use the signed and notarized AppTidy.dmg from the production download location. Do not deploy ad-hoc debug builds to users.

Add a macOS DMG app

In the Intune admin center, go to Apps, choose macOS, select Add, and use the app type macOS app (DMG).

Upload AppTidy.dmg

Upload the DMG and wait for Intune to process it. Use a stable versioned file name for release tracking.

Configure app information

Set the name to AppTidy, publisher to bistudio.app, category to Utilities, and add a short description and app icon for Company Portal.

Set requirements

Require macOS 13 or later. Add any organization-specific device filters or group targeting rules separately.

Configure detection

Use bundle ID com.apptidy.AppTidy. If your Intune workflow asks for a version, use the final app's CFBundleShortVersionString or your approved release version.

Assign the app

Use Available for enrolled devices when you want users to install from Company Portal. Use Required only after pilot testing automatic installation.

Test and monitor

Install on a clean managed Mac, confirm AppTidy appears in /Applications, launch it, and verify Intune reports the install as detected.

Optional PPPC Profile

If your organization wants to pre-approve privacy access, deploy a custom Apple configuration profile from Intune. Build the PPPC payload with the final Developer ID-signed AppTidy code requirement, not a debug build. Full Disk Access helps with protected user data scanning and does not remove macOS administrator approval prompts for root-owned app bundles.

Troubleshooting

  • If detection fails, confirm the deployed app bundle is installed at /Applications/AppTidy.app and has bundle ID com.apptidy.AppTidy.
  • If users see privacy prompts, confirm whether your PPPC profile is installed and whether it was generated from the final signed app identity.
  • If root-owned apps require Touch ID or password approval, that is expected macOS behavior and is separate from Full Disk Access.
