Binky
Binky vs Finder
Finder, thumbs, and good intentions. Works until Wednesday.
Choose Finder for full control, no new software
When you trust yourself to sweep Downloads every day, don’t mind partial downloads, and prefer ⌘Z when something goes sideways.
Choose Binky when the tantrum repeats every day
When you want stable-file detection, typed buckets, Review for unknowns, optional Finder tags, and a history of moves — without building another habit stack.
| Binky | Finder | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free (MIT) | Free |
| Automation | Watch folder + Sort Now | You |
| Watch folder | Yes | No — you watch |
| Consistency | Same buckets every time | Depends on the week |
| Stable-file gate | Built in | You eyeball it |
| Review bucket | Yes | Whatever pile you invent |
| Time cost | Runs while you work | Every cleanup session |
No shame in either
Hands work. Habits slip.
Keep Finder-only when it fits. Grab Binky when the inbox starts yelling again — it happens.
