# Binky

**Tagline:** Quiets your Downloads.

A native macOS app that watches your inbox (defaults to `~/Downloads`), waits for files to finish landing, then sorts them into sensible buckets — Images, PDFs, Media, Documents, Archives, Apps, Screenshots, Misc. Unknowns route to **Review** so nothing sketchy silently disappears. Optional Finder tags; history with reveal and undo where macOS allows.
