Anybody use Hey Folders?

I just downloaded it and when I ran it, Little Snitch gave me a warning that said something to the effect that Hey Folders appears to be installing code to circumvent Little Snitch. I denied it (and it tried it again) so I logged out immediately which is why I didn't get the Little Snitch warning exactly right.

Probably because Hey Folders uses mach_inject to insert itself into the Finder.
I wouldn't worry about it; Little Snitch is just being paranoid (which is its job).
