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 named Routines running against Downloads, Desktop, or whatever pile's active — stable-file gate, sorted destinations, Review, Finder tags — without adding another habit to the list.
| Binky | Finder | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free (MIT) | Free |
| Routine | Named Routines + Sort Now | You |
| Watch folder | Yes | No — you watch |
| Consistency | Same sorted folders every time | Depends on the week |
| Stable-file gate | Built in | You eyeball it |
| Review folder | 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 folder starts yelling again — it happens.
