Hi everyone,

Full disclosure: I’m the developer behind Shelfinder.

Shelfinder is a small macOS utility I’ve been working on that introduces a floating shelf integrated with Finder to make everyday file handling faster and more intuitive.

It allows you to temporarily drop files, folders, images, PDFs, and other assets into a floating shelf while you work, then move or copy them anywhere in Finder using drag-and-drop. This is especially useful when dealing with multiple Finder windows, desktops, or scattered files.


Key features:
  • Drag files from Finder into the shelf
  • Drop them anywhere in Finder or other apps
  • Visual organization in a clean, native macOS UI
  • Support for groups of files
  • 100% local operation (no cloud, no sync, no tracking)

The idea behind Shelfinder is simple: reduce friction in common Finder workflows without changing how macOS works.


If you’d like to try it, you can download it here:

I’m happy to answer questions or hear feedback, and I’ll use this thread to post future updates and improvements.

Initially downloaded without .dmg extension. All worked as expected after changing the extension and installation. Timely appearance for Shelfinder since I'm carrying out an iCloud clear out. Still to work out what the paid for pro version will do.
