## About

ProShelf creates an adaptive shelf at the edge of your Mac desktop for quick access to files, iCloud Photos, clipboard history, notes, music, and system information. Drag files and photos into other apps, preview documents, browse recent or favorite images, and keep frequently used items within reach without cluttering the desktop.

Designed for power users and creatives, ProShelf also includes photo editing, local MP3 playback, internet radio, quick notes, timers, smart positioning, and system monitoring. Its free version has limited features, while Pro adds tools such as shelf touch zones, PNG-to-JPEG conversion, and expanded monitoring. AIrchiving organizes documents with AI and requires a subscription.
