About Copy Shelf

Copy Shelf is a lightweight native macOS utility designed for one simple purpose: helping you get back to something you just copied. Instead of opening a clipboard manager, searching through history, or copying the same thing again, press ⌥V to summon a beautiful floating shelf beside your cursor. Your recent copies appear exactly where you're already working, making it easy to recognize what you need and continue without losing focus. Designed to feel like a natural part of macOS, Copy Shelf stays out of your way until you need it. Features • Instantly access your recent copies with ⌥V • Beautiful floating shelf that appears beside your cursor • Supports text, images, files, PDFs, videos, folders, and links • Rich previews for quick visual recognition • Native drag-and-drop into Finder, Figma, Notes, browsers, and other macOS apps • Lightweight, fast, and distraction-free • Customizable shelf size (5 or 10 recent items) • Native macOS design with system materials and smooth animations • Accessibility support, including keyboard navigation and reduced motion Copy Shelf isn't built to manage your clipboard history. It's built to help you stay in flow.
