Binky vs Refolder
Refolder lives on Setapp and leans on AI for naming and sorting. Binky leans on file types, patience, and a Review pile when the Mac isn’t sure.
Choose Refolder for AI-driven naming and sorting
When you already live in Setapp, want intelligent cleanup, and batch renaming with Apple Intelligence–style help sounds right.
Choose Binky for free, rule-free, no subscription
When you want predictable buckets, open source, stable-file detection, and no monthly receipt — just a quieter Downloads folder.

AI isn’t wrong
Neither is boring old buckets
Refolder guesses smarter names. Binky routes known types and parks the weird stuff where you can see it. Different vibes, same messy Downloads.
