Nodusly Shelf
A file shelf for Mac to park files in motion
Dragging a file across three windows and two Spaces is where things get lost. Drop it on the shelf instead, keep working, and when you know where it belongs, drag it out, AirDrop it or reveal it in Finder.
Park files until you know where they go
A holding area for files in motion
Stage files and folders before you know exactly where they belong. Drop in, pin what matters, then AirDrop, reveal in Finder, or drag out when you're ready.
