Wunder showing a collection of museum objects in a grid, with the sidebar sorted into formats, themes and colors.

1what it is

a room for everything you want to keep.

pictures, links, quotes, screenshots, files. press ⌘⇧C and it's in. no folder to pick, no name to type.

wunder looks at what you keep: the words in a picture, what's in it, its colors. so you can find it later without ever having filed it.

2why it's different

folders ask where something goes before you know why you kept it. so things end up nowhere, or everywhere.

wunder sorts itself, by format, kind, theme and color. and it brings old things back, so what you collected doesn't just sit there.

3how it works

  1. see something you like. press ⌘⇧C.
  2. or drag anything onto the arch in your menu bar.
  3. come back later and find it by what's in it, or let wunder bring it back.

4what you get

collection

everything, at a glance.

browse it as a grid, a wall or a timeline. the sidebar fills itself in with formats, kinds, themes and colors.

A sculpture selected, with what Wunder noticed about it and related pieces in the side panel.
wunder

wander, and find it again.

a wall that drifts on its own. “for today” picks a dozen things you'd forgotten, and says why.

An endless wall of collected pieces to wander through.
space

a workbench for thinking.

pile things by format, kind, theme or color. move them around, draw lines between them, and keep three layouts to come back to.

Pieces sorted into named piles on a canvas, connected by a line.

keep what catches your eye.

questions, answered.

what is wunder?

a place on your mac for the things you don't want to lose, but don't want to organize either. it keeps pictures, web pages, text and files, figures out what they are, and helps you find them again.

macos says it can't open wunder. what do i do?

wunder isn't notarized by apple yet, so the first time macos stops it. open system settings → privacy & security, scroll down and click open anyway. you only do this once.

or, in terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Wunder.app

does anything leave my mac?

no. reading text in pictures, recognizing what's in them, colors, similar pictures and questions all run on your mac with apple's own frameworks. wunder only goes online to fetch the pages you collect, the optional description-search model (about 106 MB, once), and to check for a new version.

does it copy my files?

no. it remembers where they are, and follows them if you move them. if you'd rather keep copies, a room can save every file into a folder of its own.

how does sync work?

turn on sync for a room and it moves into iCloud Drive. any mac signed in to your apple account can open it. if two macs change it at once, both changes are kept.

what do i need?

a mac with macOS 14 sonoma or later. asking your collection questions needs apple intelligence (macOS 26).

is it free?

yes. the source is on github.

start your cabinet.

free for mac. no account, no setup.
