Binky
Binky vs Neatify
Neatify sells calm through the menu bar — projects, bulk tidy, custom rules. Binky sells calm through GitHub — same messy Downloads, different receipt.
Choose Neatify for project-based context switching
When you want Mac App Store distribution, menu-bar presence, and rule sets you tune per workflow — and a one-time purchase is fine.
Choose Binky for zero cost and a stable-file gate
When you want MIT source, default buckets, Review for odd files, and routing that waits until downloads look finished.

Both want less mess
Different price tags, same fussy inbox
Neatify’s polish lives on the Store. Binky’s lives on disk — fork it, trust it, or just run Sort Now when life piles up.
