Capture images, text, and files automatically — organized, searchable, always one click away.\n\n![macOS 13+](https://img.shields.io/badge/macOS-13.0%2B-8B5CF6)\n![Swift](https://img.shields.io/badge/Swift-5.9-F05138)\n![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-22C55E)\n\n## Features\n\n**Clipboard Monitoring** — Auto-captures copied images, text, and files with smart content detection, duplicate filtering, and configurable polling interval.\n\n**Drag \u0026 Drop** — Drop files directly into the app (up to 200MB) or drag items out to any other application.\n\n**Grid \u0026 List Views** — Switch between grid and list layouts with three density levels: compact, comfortable, and large.\n\n**Content Filtering** — Five tabs (All, Pinned, Images, Text, Files) with live item counts and instant switching.\n\n**Pin Important Items** — Pin items to protect them from auto-cleanup. Persisted across app restarts with visual indicators.\n\n**Rich Previews** — Image thumbnails, text content rendering, syntax-highlighted code previews, and file type icons with size display.\n\n**Quick Actions** — Hover-activated copy, pin, and delete buttons with animated feedback.\n\n**Persistent Storage** — Items saved automatically to Application Support. Survives app restarts with debounced auto-save.\n\n**Customizable Settings** — Polling interval, file size limits, text length limits, capture type toggles, density, thumbnail style (contain/cover), corner radius, and auto-clear retention.\n\n**Native Performance** — Built with Swift and AppKit. Minimal memory footprint with smart background processing.\n\n**Launch at Login** — Start automatically with macOS. Configure menu bar and Dock visibility.\n\n**Bulk Management** — Clear all items, clear only unpinned, or set auto-clear retention by days.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Download (Recommended)\n\n### Download (Recommended)\n\n1. Download **ShelfSpace.dmg** from the [latest release](https://github.com/immdipu/shelfspace/releases/latest)\n2. Open the DMG and drag ShelfSpace to Applications\n3. **Important**: Don't double-click to launch yet! Follow the security steps first.\n\n### 🔐 First Launch (Required for unsigned apps)\n\n⚠️ **If you see \"Apple could not verify ShelfSpace is free of malware\":**\n\nThis is normal for open-source apps. ShelfSpace is safe but not notarized with Apple.\n\n**Method 1 (Recommended):**\n\n1. **Right-click** ShelfSpace.app in Applications folder\n2. Select **\"Open\"** from the context menu\n3. Click **\"Open\"** again in the security dialog\n4. The app will now run and be trusted permanently\n\n**Method 2:**\n\n1. Go to **System Settings** → **Privacy \u0026 Security**\n2. Scroll down to find **\"ShelfSpace was blocked...\"**\n3. Click **\"Open Anyway\"**\n\n**If you see \"damaged and can't be opened\":**\n\n```bash\nxattr -cr /Applications/ShelfSpace.app\n```\n\nThen try Method 1 above.\n\nYou only need to do this once - the app will launch normally afterward.\n\n### Build from Source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/immdipu/shelfspace.git\ncd shelfspace\nmake run\n```\n\nOr step by step:\n\n```bash\nmake icons    # Generate app icon from icon-1024.png\nmake build    # Build ShelfSpace.app\nmake release  # Full pipeline: icons + build + DMG + checksums\n```\n\nRun `make help` to see all available commands.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. **Launch** — ShelfSpace appears as a menu bar icon\n2. **Click** the icon to open the clipboard shelf\n3. **Copy** anything — images, text, files are captured automatically\n4. **Drop** files directly into the panel\n5. **Filter** by type using the tab bar (All, Pinned, Images, Text, Files)\n6. **Hover** over items for quick actions (copy, pin, delete)\n7. **Drag** items out of ShelfSpace into any app\n8. **Pin** important items to keep them safe from cleanup\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\nSources/\n├── AppDelegate.swift              # Menu bar setup and app lifecycle\n├── Cells/                         # FileShelfItemCell (grid + list modes)\n├── Controllers/                   # FileShelfViewController + extensions\n├── Layout/                        # AdaptiveGridLayout (grid/list/density)\n├── Models/                        # FileShelfItem, ContentFilter\n├── Persistence/                   # PersistenceManager (auto-save)\n├── Protocols/                     # FileShelfItemCellDelegate\n├── Services/                      # ClipboardMonitor\n├── Settings/                      # Settings window (6 panes)\n├── Utilities/                     # Logger, AnimationHelper, TempDirectoryManager\n└── Views/                         # HeaderView, TabBar, ToolbarView, EmptyStateView\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nAll settings are accessible from the gear icon in the app header:\n\n| Category       | Settings                                                                    |\n| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| **General**    | Show in menu bar, show in Dock, launch at login                             |\n| **Clipboard**  | Enable/disable monitoring, polling interval, max file size, max text length |\n| **Capture**    | Toggle file/image/text capture independently, ignore duplicates             |\n| **Storage**    | Max items (up to 1000), auto-clear retention days                           |\n| **Appearance** | Thumbnail style (contain/cover), show file size, corner radius              |\n| **About**      | Version info, GitHub link, report issues                                    |\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- **Swift 5.9** + **AppKit** — Native macOS, no SwiftUI or Electron\n- **Core Animation** — Smooth animations and visual effects\n- **Swift Package Manager** — Build system\n- **NSPopover** — 420x580px panel from the menu bar\n\n## Privacy\n\n- All data stored locally on your Mac (`~/Library/Application Support/ShelfSpace/`)\n- No network requests, no analytics, no telemetry\n- Temporary files cleaned up automatically\n\n## Version Management\n\n```bash\nmake version       # Show current version\nmake bump-patch    # 1.0.0 → 1.0.1\nmake bump-minor    # 1.0.0 → 1.1.0\nmake bump-major    # 1.0.0 → 2.0.0\nmake github-release  # Tag + push + create GitHub release with DMG\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions welcome.
