What it does

You never notice when your MacOS Bin is full. BananaBin adds a third state to your Bin to show you when it's time to take out the trash. 🪰

Is MacOS always telling that your bin is full when installing a new app? Use BananaBin and it'll be obvious when it's time to take out the trash.

When your bin takes up a lot of disk space BananaBin makes that visible by adding interactive flies to your bin. Configure the disk space threshold in the app by clicking on the tiny Banana. This app solves a problem I don’t have, but I still WANT it! I love this. I love this very much. It's minimal, playful, and delightful. The bugs are just disturbing enough to move me to action. Love the idea! That nature-inspired UX is so cool 👏 Super discreet and effective to remind people to empty their trashcan! Can’t wait to try it! We’ve tested BananaBin on MacOS Sonoma (14), and it will probably work on MacOS Sequoia (15) as well. It’s currently not supported on older versions of MacOS. Open the…from bananabin.app

    Instead of a traditional command-style CLI, it runs as a TUI in the terminal, allowing users to inspect cleanup targets before proceeding. On my macOS machines, caches and app data often take up more than 40% of disk usage. Manually cleaning them each time felt tedious, so I built this tool to make the process easier. While similar tools exist, I found it hard to quickly understand how items were categorized or how important each cleanup target was, so I built my own.

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
