Hi HN,<p>I want to share a new project I built — Tokie, a file manager alternative that turns a regular folder into a Notion-style database.<p>The idea started when I realized how limited the default file manager experience is. I always wanted to:<p>- Add custom labels and status fields to files and folders
- Take notes <i>inside</i> a folder and edit them inline, without opening a separate app
- Save links or web references to a folder, so they stay with related files and research<p>Basically, I wanted folders to do more than just store files — I wanted them to work the way my brain does when I’m organizing, researching, or building something.<p>So I built Tokie to bring some of the flexibility of online productivity tools into a local desktop file manager.<p>It runs on macOS (M-series chips only for now). No signup required.<p>Try it here: <a href="https://tokie.is" rel="nofollow">https://tokie.is</a><p>Would love feedback on the idea, UX, and what workflows you'd want it to support!
and maybe connect to your online apps(which is possible in future iterations)
