Sweeping Away your Poor HTML Clutter since 2002!

Use Balthisar Tidy to make sure your HTML is clean, error free, accessible, and valid. With full support for modern HTML5, Tidy HTML, and the W3C Nu Validator, Balthisar Tidy surpasses macOS's built-in, terminal version of this venerable tool.

Balthisar Tidy is an upgrade to Balthisar Tidy Classic (which is absolutely 100% free). Look for it on the App Store for a free, no pressure alternative. Balthisar Tidy gives you these extra features not available in Balthisar Tidy Classic:

• AppleScript support, allowing you to automate Tidy so that you can process hundreds of files in an hour (for example).
• Unix configuration file exporting support and important. If you love Balthisar Tidy's settings management but prefer to leverage shell scripts, then this feature will prove essential to your workflow.
• RTF Export of the Tidy text in full color. This is great for code reviews, visual aids, and producing documentation.
• Precise management of editor colors and themes. Customize your text editor to work the way you want it to.
• The web preview feature can show split views of your before and after Tidying code, assuring you that HTML Tidy isn't making undesired changes.

And of course Balthisar Tidy includes the standard features as Balthisar Tidy Class:
