Shelf-ish for macOS, iPhone, and Apple Vision Pro

Your clipboard, but more shelf-ish.

Save text, links, files, screenshots, code, audio, and more before they vanish into clipboard oblivion. Shelf-ish keeps the useful bits close, lets the rest expire quietly, and makes the whole thing feel a lot less feral.

The App Store link can drop in later. For now the button is simply practising restraint.

Capture without breaking stride

Quick save, clipboard import, previews, and pinning for the thing you needed five seconds ago.

Search by what you remember

Find clips by content, source app, type, tag, or date instead of trying to reconstruct history from vibes.

Cards that match the content

Text looks like text, code looks like code, and screenshots stop pretending to be generic beige rectangles.

Private by default

Local-first, no analytics theatre, and expiry rules that keep sensitive clutter from becoming permanent decor.

Why it works

Save it now, sort it later, find it before it becomes folklore.

Shelf-ish is designed for information that matters briefly but still matters. It keeps the flow fast, the shelf legible, and your desktop from quietly becoming a museum of temporary rubbish.

01

Capture

Clipboard saves, quick capture, and share-sheet handoff make it easy to grab the useful thing while you are still busy being useful.

02

Organise

Type-aware cards, previews, and pinning keep links, screenshots, code, audio, and little scraps of context from collapsing into one bland pile.

03

Recall

Search by content, tag, source app, type, or date, then let expiry tidy up the bits you no longer need without making a ceremony of it.

Support

Need a hand?

Bug reports, setup questions, and the occasional “why is my clipboard doing that” all have a proper home.
