About Shelfy

Who makes it

Hi, I’m Ayesha Gagan. I make small Mac apps that are useful, pay-once and don’t need an account. Shelfy is one of three so far, alongside Chargeberry, which stops a MacBook charging at the limit you choose, and Invoicewell, which makes invoices when you ask your AI assistant for them. I share what I’m building as I go on X (@ayeshagagan) and on my site.

Why Shelfy exists

Every Mac has the same empty strip of screen on either side of the Dock, and almost everyone’s Desktop is covered in files that were only meant to be there “for a minute”. Shelfy puts those two things together: a glass shelf in that empty space for the files you’re using, and your newest screenshots and downloads on the other side, so the thing you just saved is always one drag away.

It’s deliberately small: one shelf, one strip, one shortcut, nothing to set up. If you want shelves on every edge or automations, there are good apps for that, and the comparisons on this site say so honestly.

How it’s made

• Shelfy is a native Mac app written in Swift. It has no web views and no tracking, and it’s signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
• The first version came out on October 18, 2026; the latest is 0.3.0, from November 8, 2026. Every change is in the changelog.
• Each release is checked with an automated self-test of the real app before it ships.
