Stop breaking your flow. Shelf is a menu-bar staging tray built for power users. Drag files, images, or text to the tray, or shelf your clipboard instantly with a global shortcut. Seamlessly drag items back out to Slack, Mail, or Finder, then let them auto-expire. 100% private, offline, and fast. Your clipboard holds one thing and loses it the moment you copy the next. Your Desktop holds everything forever, until it's a junk drawer. Shelf is the missing middle: a small drop zone that holds several things at once, and clears itself on purpose. DROP IT ANYWHERE • Drag files, images, or text onto the menu-bar tray. • Press ⌃⌥⌘S to shelf whatever's on your clipboard, without leaving the keyboard. • Screenshots land on the shelf automatically — and stay on your clipboard, so you can still paste them. USE IT, THEN LET IT GO • Drag any item straight back out into Mail, Slack, Finder, or an upload field — it carries the real file. • Copy it back to the clipboard, or reveal it in Finder. • Everything clears itself after a number of days you choose (1–30). Pin the rare thing you want to keep, or cap the shelf to its last N items. SCREENSHOTS & CLIPBOARD, HANDLED • Save-to-clipboard screenshots and copied images are shelved the moment you take them. • A quiet icon flash confirms the catch — no window steals your focus. MAKE IT YOURS • Sort by newest, oldest, or soonest-to-expire, and switch to a compact list. • Choose what happens when something's shelved: open the shelf, flash the icon, play a sound, or nothing. • Rebind the shortcut, show a live count in the menu bar, and launch at login. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Shelf has no account, no server, no network, no ads, and no analytics. Every item is a real file on your Mac, and nothing ever leaves your machine. Add apps to ignore, and while a password manager or your bank is frontmost, Shelf captures nothing automatically. FREE TO TRY Use the whole app free for 10 days. After that, a single purchase unlocks it for good — no subscription, ever. Requires macOS 14 or later. Universal — Apple silicon and Intel. Shelf is an independent utility from Fourteener Labs and is not affiliated with Apple.
