Always-visible drop zone
The shelf lives in the notch area at the top of your screen, always accessible without opening any window.
Drop a file, image, or text into the notch area while switching apps. It sits there, waiting — grab it wherever you land.

Moving things between apps on a Mac usually means awkward drag-and-drop acrobatics, Command-Tab juggling, or pasting through a note. Notch Shelf gives you a persistent drop zone right at the top of your screen. Drag anything there from one app, switch to another, and grab it from the shelf. No intermediate files, no extra windows — just a smarter clipboard.
