Put Some Hey! In Your Folders
OS X has a secret weapon that is little known to its users called labels. It allows you to highlight a file or folder name with color by selecting that item and right-clicking, control-clicking, or going to the File menu and selecting a label color.
My desktop is usually overflowing with so much junk that the small highlighted names are rendered useless against my poor eyes. That’s where Hey Folders! comes in. This nifty little application highlights not only the name, but the folder itself, making it way easier to find my stuff. Just look at my desktop right now:
Using Hey Folders!, I’ve managed to create a new way of organizing my desktop. All my projects are highlighted purple, my pictures blue, my videos green, etc. Doing this has saved me a ton of time and also made me more productive. Without Hey Folders! I could never find anything in a timely manner.
You may recognize the functionality that Hey Folders! brings to the Mac from an application known as LabelsX. While LabelsX can do this, there is some configuration involved. Since Hey Folders! is simply a daemon (it runs in the background), there is no configuration necessary to get great looking folders to go with your highlighted folder names.
Hey Folders! does not add or change any of Apple’s default highlight colors, although it does make better use of them. The best part of Hey Folders! is its ease of use and setup. In order to install and use, just add Hey Folders! to your start-up items. With one restart all of your folder will magically change color and shine.
Hey Folders! is a free beta. Download Hey Folders! to start saving time and organizing today!

hey folders didn’t work for me…i tried a few times
This is how labels worked in the “classic” versions of the OS. I never used labels before because I didn’t like how it worked. I much prefer the new system, but your mileage may vary. It’s nice to know the option exists.
I also prefer a clean, uncluttered desktop. They say a tidy desk is a sign of a small mind, but I disagree.
