Hyperbin

Hyperbin

A haunted trash can that nags you to empty it

Description

The trash has piled up several gigabytes, and system warnings you ignored long ago do not help. Hyperbin tries another way: it draws a creepy animation over the macOS Trash or the Windows Recycle Bin, the fuller the bin gets the scarier it becomes, and everything disappears once you empty it.

There are three effects: flies land on the bin and scatter from your pointer, ooze fills the bin and runs down the outside with eyes that follow your cursor, and tentacles reach out, slap the rim and drop back under the rubbish when you empty it. How full the bin must be before it starts is adjustable.

Features



Three effects: Flies, ooze and tentacles, switchable from the menu bar or tray icon.

Scales with fullness: Choose how full the bin has to be before it appears and how strong the effect is.

Gone when empty: The animation clears the moment you empty the bin.

Cross-platform: Works on macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows, free with no account.
