Embarking on my hoarding journey
If you really care, you can use something like scorch or file-digests to get the hashes of your files and just store that in a text file, recalculating monthly. No need to get fancy with it. Hell, write your own simple script that hashes, outputs to file, and checks previous versions.

Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple
As someone who has looked at Shoes several times but never dove in, it's confusing how Shoes 4 has been the "preview version" of Shoes for, like, a decade or more. It made me actively avoid getting invested in Shoes 3 (the release promoted on the linked website) because Shoes 4 requires JRuby and I am happy with CRuby (the Ruby interpreter most people think of when they hear "Ruby").

http://www.rubydoc.info/github/shoes/shoes4
No disrespect to the developers but to me it feels like taking over a GUI toolkit created "to teach programming to everyone" (to quote the Shoes 4 readme) and making it depend upon a super-complicated enterprise-focused Ruby was sort of Missing The Point™ in a huge way.
Heck I couldn't even switch to JRuby if I wanted to because I <3 Ractors and JRuby still lacks CRuby 3.0 feature parity: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/7459
