Hyperbin is a playful macOS/Windows utility that overlays animated monster effects (flies, ooze, tentacles) on the system trash or recycle bin, intensifying as the bin fills. It combines complex real-time graphics, steering behavior simulations, and platform-specific shell integration, with detailed technical documentation and a clean effect plugin architecture.
