Boo
Boo is a tiny ghost that tidies your Downloads
Boo is a free, open source menu-bar app for macOS that quietly sorts your Downloads folder as files arrive. Known file types move into the right folder automatically, no setup, no rules to write. See a file type Boo hasn't met before? It pops up once, asks where it goes, then remembers for good. Native Swift, a couple MB, no Electron. Built because Downloads folders shouldn't be a landfill.
Hey ProductHunt 👋
I built Boo because my Downloads folder was a disaster and I was tired of manually sorting it every week.
It's a tiny ghost that lives in your menu bar. Drop a file in Downloads and it either eats it silently (known file types go straight to the right folder) or looks confused and asks where it should go if it's never seen that type before. It remembers your answer after that, so it only ever asks once per file type.
Fully native Swift, no Electron, no background bloat. Free and open source, MIT licensed, would love contributions or ideas for what to add next.
Happy to answer anything about how it works or what's coming.
