How it works
01
Drag to the notch
It opens on Shelf; let go anywhere.
02
Switch apps
The tiles wait for you.
03
Drag it out
Into a message, an email, a design, a folder.
01 · Anything
Files, images, links, text.
Drag a picture off a web page, a link from the address bar or a sentence you selected: each lands as a tile. ⌘V adds whatever is on your clipboard.
02 · Share
AirDrop in a flick.
Right-click any tile for AirDrop, Share, Quick Look, Reveal in Finder, Copy and Copy Path. Or press Space to look inside.
03 · No copies
It follows the file.
The shelf keeps a reference, not a copy, so a 2 GB video costs nothing. Rename or move the original and the tile follows it.

Does it copy my files anywhere?
No. It stores a reference to the file, like a Finder alias. The only exception is an image dragged straight from a web page, which has no file behind it, so a copy is saved into the app's own folder.
What happens if I move the original file?
The shelf follows it, the same way a Finder alias does. If the file is deleted, the tile is greyed out with a missing label and can be removed.
Can I AirDrop from the shelf?
Yes. Right-click a tile and choose AirDrop, or Share for everything else macOS offers.
Why doesn't the notch react when I drag?
Check that Shelf is switched on in Settings. When it's off, the notch ignores drags.
