Those unused gigabytes in your Trash stink. You can’t smell them, so you never empty it. Then one day your disk is full, and half of it was sitting in the Trash the whole time.

hyperbin makes it obvious. It unleashes flies, ooze or tentacles onto your Mac Trash or Windows Recycle Bin, and the fuller the bin gets, the nastier it gets. Empty it and ahhh, clean.

  1. TRASH IT
  2. FORGET
  3. EWWW (!!)
  4. DELIGHT IN AN EMPTY BIN

Pick your nasty

Flies. They land, walk around and scatter when your cursor gets close. Nothing is keyframed: the swarm is simulated, so it never does quite the same thing twice.

Ooze. Green goo fills the bin and drips down the side. It has eyes. They follow your cursor.

Tentacles. Arms reach out, slap the rim and coil. When you finally take it out, they thrash their way back under the rubbish.

You decide how full is too full

Trash Threshold sets how much counts as full. Amount runs from Just a Little to Make It Stop. Yes, that’s a real setting. hyperbin lives in your menu bar on Mac and your system tray on Windows.

Free. Like, actually free.

No account, no store, no pro tier with the tentacles locked behind it. The code is on GitHub.
