About:
Workbench is a macOS utility that automatically syncs files in a designated directory to iCloud. It provides a seamless, dotfile-like workflow for keeping configuration and documents consistent across all Apple devices without manual intervention.

Key Features:

Automatic background synchronization to iCloud
Simple directory-based configuration (dotfile-style)
Lightweight and unobtrusive operation
Native macOS integration

Use Cases:

Syncing developer dotfiles across multiple Macs
Keeping documents and configuration files up-to-date via iCloud
Automating backup of critical user data

Alternatives:

iCloud Drive – Native solution but lacks Workbench's focused, automatic directory sync workflow
rsync – More powerful but requires manual setup and lacks iCloud integration
Dropbox – Third-party cloud storage with similar sync capabilities but different ecosystem
