About:
Dropshelf is a menu bar utility that acts as a temporary holding area for files, links, and text snippets. It allows users to drag and drop items onto its shelf for later use, preventing accidental file drops or cluttering the desktop. This tool streamlines workflow by keeping assets accessible without requiring an open Finder window.
Key Features:
  • Temporary storage shelf for drag-and-drop items
  • Supports files, URLs, and text snippets
  • Items remain available across sessions
  • Lightweight menu bar interface
Use Cases:
  • Collecting multiple files before organizing them into folders
  • Holding text snippets or URLs for temporary reference
  • Preventing accidental file placement during complex drag operations
Alternatives:
  • Dropzone – More automation-focused with custom actions, while Dropshelf is simpler temporary storage
  • Yoink – Similar staging area concept with more advanced file handling features
