Historr gives every drag a place to land. Shake the pointer mid-drag, drop what you're carrying, collect more from anywhere, then drop the whole pile where it belongs. Free, private, and built into a clipboard manager you'll use every day.
A drag and drop shelf is a small floating window that temporarily holds files, images, links or text while you drag. You drop items on it, find the destination, then drag everything out in one move instead of juggling windows.
Yes. Historr, including the Drag Shelf, is free: no trial, no delay, no subscription and no account.
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later · Apple Silicon & Intel.
