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 Routines at zero cost
When you want named Routines per folder, MIT source, stable-file detection, Review for odd files, and routing that decides before you do.
