Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! Today, I stumbled upon a new Mac app that I just had to share with you all. It’s called Bananabin, and it uses animated flies to remind you when it’s time to take out the trash on your computer.

Now, we all have different ways of managing our trash directories. Some of us are diligent about emptying it daily, while others let it pile up until storage space becomes an issue. Personally, I fall somewhere in between, but I always try to keep it in check.

When your Trash folder reaches a certain size threshold, Bananabin will surround it with buzzing, animated flies that you can shoo away with your mouse. It’s a quirky and fun way to stay on top of your digital clutter.

You can adjust the fly threshold settings from the app’s menu bar icon, with options ranging from Janitor Mode (10MB) to Garbage Hoarder (10GB). The beta version of the app is currently free, but the developers plan to introduce a small one-time fee for the release version.

Keep in mind that Bananabin requires accessibility and full disk access permissions to function properly. This is necessary for the app to accurately monitor and alert you when your Trash folder exceeds the designated threshold.

If you’re interested in giving Bananabin a try, head over to their website and provide your email address for a download link. And remember, this app is currently only compatible with macOS Sonoma, but support for macOS Ventura may be added in the future.

So there you have it – a lighthearted and practical solution for managing your Mac’s trash folder. Give Bananabin a shot and let me know what you think! Until next time, happy computing!
