Girder

Promixis

Girder is a tool to automate different processes so they run independently whenever you need them. You can create these automatic processes in two different ways: using the command list, which is accesible and easy to use; or using the LUA language, which is a little harder to master, but allows for a deeper customization of your automated processes. There are also several ways to set these processes in motion once you've created them. The first and most straightforward is to do it right from the application, but you can also do it through the Internet, using a website that you have to create beforehand. Girder is a pretty complex application that might well leave more than one user lost in the many possibilities it offers. Fortunately, the help menu included in the application can help you learn how to use it in no more than an hour.

The first thing to do is define a set of rules that act as filters and let you choose what you want to do with certain files in certain folders when certain conditions are met. Once you've established these rules that apply to the specified files, you have to choose what actions are going to be activated. You can move the files directly to a different folder, rename them, make a backup, and even upload images to Facebook automatically. Finally, to make all this work, you have to define the folders to be controlled by Hygeia, which are analyzed in time intervals that you also set yourself (by default you can leave the continuous option).

The idea is that you don't get distracted by anything else, like browsing the Internet 'for a few minutes,' playing a quick game of Solitaire, or looking at pictures. With Textroom open, the only thing you can do is write, and that's the point. Textroom is an incredibly useful application if you write regularly but often get distracted by everything else on your computer. If this sounds like you, give Textroom a try.
