Turfs is a Mac productivity tool in the form of a menu bar application that organizes and accesses content by dividing the desktop into multiple "turfs" (zones).
Turfs was created by developer Ludwig Fun.
After launching on Product Hunt, Turfs received 89 upvotes and ranked 10th on the day's leaderboard.
Each zone in Turfs can be backed in three ways: bound to a real folder, based on Finder tags, or manually curated files and folders.
When Turfs is bound to a real folder, content syncs bidirectionally.
Turfs directly replaces Finder's built-in desktop icon layer, rendering all desktop content entirely on its own.
Because replacing the Finder desktop icon layer involves system-level operations, Turfs cannot pass the Mac App Store's sandbox review and can only be distributed as a standalone application.
Turfs promises that zones will remain in place during the "Show Desktop" action, and that the desktop will be fully restored to its pre-use state after quitting Turfs.
Turfs uses a one-time purchase model, priced at $29.
Turfs offers a 10-day free trial that does not require binding a credit card.
