NotchBuddyShelf: park and AirDrop files from your notch
Drag a file onto the notch and it waits there. Drag it out into Mail, Slack or Finder when you need it, or drop it on AirDrop to send it to your iPhone.
Between two apps
Moving a file from Finder to a browser upload, or from a download to an email, usually means juggling windows. Park it on the shelf, switch apps, drag it back out.
To your iPhone
Drop a file on AirDrop from the shelf to send it to a nearby iPhone or Mac.
What it's good for
- Uploading a screenshot to a browser form without digging through the Desktop.
- Attaching the same file to an email and a Slack message.
- Sending a PDF or a photo to your iPhone in two moves.
When another app is the better choice
If you juggle dozens of files at once, a dedicated shelf app with multiple stacks does more. NotchBuddy's shelf is for the few files you're moving right now.
Hover over the notch, or press Control-Option-Space from any app, then pick the tool from Home or More.
Questions, answered.
Does the shelf copy my files?
No. It keeps a reference to the file where it already is.
Can I AirDrop to a Mac as well as an iPhone?
Yes. Drop the file on AirDrop and pick any nearby device.
Do other notch apps have a file shelf?
Most do, including The Boring Notch, Atoll, OmniNotch and MacNotch. See how NotchBuddy compares.
