## About

Bento organizes files on your Mac desktop into glass-styled boxes that are backed by ordinary Finder folders. It tidies existing files in one click, keeps new screenshots and downloads sorted, learns the folder structure you already use, and lets you undo moves without deleting or renaming anything.

The app also reads text in screenshots and PDFs on-device, making screenshots searchable by their contents. Quick Look previews, keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop filing, Finder integration, and a private, network-free design make it suited to anyone who wants a calmer desktop on macOS.
