## Blackhole

[![GitHub Actions Build Status](https://github.com/WilliamVenner/blackhole/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/WilliamVenner/blackhole/actions?query=workflow%3Abuild)

Blackhole is a simple program that creates a folder in your computer's home directory where **_files may not return_**.

Every time you start your computer/log into your user account, if contents are present, the Blackhole directory is moved to your computer's Recycle Bin/Trash, where you can restore it if needed.

## Use Cases

* Temporary downloads
* Temporary torrents
* Temporary extractions of specific files in archives (`.zip`, `.tar`, `.rar`, etc)
* Temporary storage for files waiting to be uploaded elsewhere, e.g. via FTP
* Temporary downloads of files from instant messaging
* A recoverable/very large/non-volatile (but slower) ramdisk
* A glorified temp folder/recycle bin

_And much more..._

## Releases
