Three Mac Apps for Frictionless File Handoffs

Keep temporary files, lasting references, and repeatable actions moving without turning your desktop into a staging area.

By Cool Mac Apps

Moving files between windows should not require a carefully arranged desktop. This collection separates the temporary things you are passing along from the references you want to keep and the actions you repeat every day.

Why this setup works

Dropover gives files a temporary shelf while you move between apps and spaces. Anybox is where the links and references worth keeping can live. Raycast makes it easy to trigger the next action once everything is in place.

It is a small system, but it keeps short-lived clutter from becoming permanent clutter.
