About

Binky is a native macOS app that watches your inbox (defaults to ~/Downloads), waits for files to finish landing, and sorts them into sensible folders like Images, PDFs, Media, Documents, Archives, Apps, Screenshots, and Misc.

Unknowns go to Review so nothing silently disappears, and Binky includes optional Finder tags plus a batch history with reveal and undo where macOS allows.

Routing & routines

Routing decides where files go; routines decide when. Templates cover the common jobs—Downloads, Desktop, DMGs, archives, Finder tags—so you’re not starting from a blank rule every time.
