v0.4.0 — first pre-release

First public build. Everything the app promises works: keep, trash, file into folders, rename, undo/redo, and gestures.

⚠️ macOS will refuse to open this on first launch. That's expected, as the app isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate yet. The zip contains a READ ME FIRST.txt with the four steps, or see Install (→ github.com).

What it does

Shows you one file at a time from ~/Downloads and asks for one decision.

• Keep — does nothing and the file stays put
• Trash — staged, reviewed, then moved to the Trash. Never deleted outright
• File it — into one of three folders you choose. Undoable

Files are ordered by a score rather than alphabetically, weighing size, how long since you opened it, whether you ever opened it, and whether it's a duplicate or an archive you already extracted. Whether that ordering is any good is one of the things I'd like to find out.

It reads ~/Downloads and folders you explicitly pick. Nothing else.

Requirements

macOS 14 or later. Apple Silicon and Intel.

Known gaps

• Not notarized, hence the first-launch warning
• Only reads ~/Downloads as scanning other folders needs a different sandbox approach
• Swipe and shelf gestures were tuned by feel, so if the thresholds are wrong for you, that's useful to hear
