WyzeShelf

WyzeShelf is a small floating shelf for the things you are about to move. Shake your pointer, or press ⌃⌥S, and a shelf opens next to your work. Drop files, folders, snippets of text and links on it, then drag them into any app, all at once.

It is built for the moments when the source and the destination are not on screen together. Park items on the shelf, switch apps, and drop them where they belong. Everything stays on your Mac: there is no account and nothing is uploaded.

What you get

1. Shake to open — Shaking the pointer opens a shelf. The sensitivity can be set to low, medium or high, and a shelf opened this way closes by itself if it stays empty.
2. A shortcut for a new shelf — ⌃⌥S opens a new shelf by default. You can record another combination in the settings.
3. Files, folders, text and links — Drop files and folders, selected text, or a link. Text and links become items you can drag out again. Dropping the same file twice is ignored.
4. Drop from several places — Drop onto the shelf, onto the menu bar icon or the Dock icon, or paste with ⌘V.
5. Copy or move — Choose whether dragging to a folder copies or moves. Move mode watches for an identical copy in your folders, then puts the original in the Trash.
6. Preview, rename, reveal — Right-click an item to preview it, open it, rename it, show it in the Finder, copy its path or copy it to the clipboard.
7. Share and ZIP — Send the items through the macOS share menu, or build a ZIP archive of what is on the shelf.
8. Undo — The last removals from a shelf can be undone, up to 10 steps.
9. Your own actions — Create actions that run a shell command on the items, for example an image conversion. Up to 10 actions, and a command is stopped after 60 seconds.
10. Watched folders — Pick up to 10 folders. When a new file arrives in one, a shelf opens with that file on it.
11. Automation link — A wyzeshelf://add?path=… link adds a file to a shelf, which helps with scripts, Shortcuts or Alfred.
12. English and French — The interface follows your system language.
