Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I wrote an AppleScript and cron-ish schedule to automatically archive anything on my desktop or downloads folder. It checks once an hour, and if there is anything there that is over a day old, and not tagged, it creates a folder in an archives folder, named for the date and time, and moves the items there. So I always have a clean desktop and downloads folder (and later I modified it to organize my documents folder).

I wrote it up a long time ago. I need to clean it up, but you can probably figure it out from here: https://gcanyon.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/keeping-a-clean-des...
