What is FlowShelf?

The smarter temporary shelf for your Mac

Everything temporary on your Mac finally has a home. Everything you copy, every screenshot, every file you're about to move somewhere — FlowShelf catches it, holds it for 24 hours, and auto-clears unless you pin it. No more desktop clutter, no more "where did I put that?"

🏝 A real Dynamic Island in your notch Tap your MacBook's notch and it expands into a glass island — with genuine liquid-glass refraction, not a blur fake. Drop files straight into it. See now-playing music from any app (Spotify, Music, browsers) with album art and audio bars that dance to the actual sound. Switch sound outputs iPhone-style. Volume, brightness and charging appear as sleek notch HUDs instead of Apple's centre-screen overlay. On Macs without a notch, everything works from a top-centre pill.

📋 Clipboard, mastered Full clipboard history with search and filters. Shake your mouse to summon a floating shelf right at your cursor. Reusable text snippets, one click to paste. Private mode and per-app exclusions so passwords never get recorded.

📸 A full screenshot studio Capture, annotate with arrows and boxes, blur sensitive info, add backdrops, pin shots to your screen, extract text with OCR, even build GIFs — all built in.

🪟 Window tools included ?Tab window switcher with live thumbnails, Dock-hover window previews, and keyboard window snapping (halves, quarters, maximize) — every shortcut fully customizable.

🧹 Plus: a proper app uninstaller that finds leftover files, optional on-device Apple Intelligence actions (summarize, ask, smart search), and a guided welcome tour.

🔒 The important part: everything runs 100% on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no subscription. Free, notarized by Apple, universal binary, auto-updates.
