| Automation | Live folders synchronize a bound directory with its Zone, while local rules support repeatable organization without an online service. | Drop zones can run macOS Shortcuts, AppleScript, shell scripts, CLI commands, and file utilities. |
| Privacy | BentoDesk says it has no account system, telemetry, analytics, advertising, cloud storage, or crash uploads, and does not upload desktop file names, paths, icons, or contents. | The privacy policy says Dockside does not collect personal or usage data, works offline after license activation, and sends crash data to Sentry only if the user enables it. |
| Security | The maker describes update-package digest or signature verification and local encryption options including DPAPI or a passphrase. | The product page states Dockside is Apple notarized and uses Apple APIs. |
| Support | The maker asks users to report security issues through GitHub's private reporting channel rather than a public issue. | The lifetime license includes support and updates; the maker lists Discord and email as contact channels. |
