The bin is alive!
When your bin takes up a lot of diskspace BananaBin makes that visible by adding interactive flies to your bin.
-
Configure the diskspace threshold in the app by clicking on the tiny Banana.
-
When the threshold is triggered flies start buzzing.
-
More flies are added every hour.
-
Clear the bin, or hover over it to scare away the flies.
Try BananaBin for free while we’re in beta! 🪰

When you get past a certain amount of files in your trash, flies start circling it 😅

This app solves a problem I don’t have, but I still WANT it!

Love this little app 🗑️🪰

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.

Probably the best mac app for 2024 🪰

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!
Questions?
How do I install BananaBin?
-
First we download the app package.
-
Open the package and drag the BananaBin icon to the Applications folder.
-
Open your Applications folder and double click the BananaBin app.
-
BananaBin needs Accessibility rights (to find the bin) and Disk access rights (to check if it’s full).
-
When all lights are green, this banana should now be visible in your menu bar.
I don’t see any flies?
First make sure there’s enough trash in your bin.
You can configure the minimum amount of bytes required to trigger the flies animation in the BananaBin menubar menu.
Please note that BananaBin currently only takes into account local trash. We’re working on adding iCloud trash and external trash support.
Trash is just everywhere on MacOS. 🗑️
How can I change settings?
Click the banana in your menubar.
Make sure it isn’t hiding behind the notch.
Is there a Windows version?
No, this is Mac only.
