Punakea is a little app trying to help you cope with The Day-to-day struggle of managing your files. Designed to complement Spotlight, it allows you to tag your files and bookmarks, freeing you of the strict hierarchy of the Finder's folder structure.
Ever had the feeling that a file didn't fit into a single folder? Did you always feel uncomfortable with the deeply nested folder hierarchies? Then just tag your files with as many Tags as you want and you will never be confined to your folders again!
Punakea can even spare you the hassle of putting your files into folders at all. You are tagging them after all, why should you need folders? If you tell Punakea to do so, it will manage all the files you are tagging by putting them in a seperate folder, so you never have to worry about a cluttered desktop anymore! Of course, this can be switched on the fly, so even if you default to let Punakea manage your files, you can drop files without having them moved by pressing the option key while dropping.
Manage your bookmarks
Are you using multiple browsers regularly? Even if you don't this feature might come in Handy: just drag the little icon left to the URL in your browser's address bar (works in Safari and Camino at the moment) to Punakea Sidebar and it will Create a bookmark (.webloc file). Using the tag navigation, you can then open the bookmarks in your current favorite browser any time!
Spotlight Integration
This is one of our favorites: use spotlight to search for your tagged files! By keeping the tags in the files spotlight comment, spotlight is able to find your files right away, without even starting Punakea!
