Features
Built for people who copy, paste, and capture all day.
Six things Shelf does well, so you can stop juggling separate tools.
Text Snippets
Save reusable text like email replies, code blocks, addresses, templates, and support responses. Organize snippets in folders and access them from the same popup.
Screenshot Capture & Editor
Capture any part of your screen and annotate it immediately. Add arrows, rectangles, text, highlights, blur, pixelation, redaction, zoom, and crop adjustments.
Keyboard-Driven Workflow
Open Shelf with a global hotkey, search, browse with arrow keys, and paste with Enter. Use number keys for quick selection and keep your hands on the keyboard.

Local-First Privacy
Shelf stores clipboard history, snippets, and screenshots locally on your PC. Your copied content is not uploaded to the cloud.
Built for Windows
Shelf runs quietly in the system tray, opens instantly, supports light and dark themes, and feels native on Windows.
Why Shelf
Replace three separate tools with one fast workflow.
Instead of using one app for clipboard history, another for text snippets, and another for quick screenshot markup, Shelf brings them together in one lightweight Windows app.
