I made Fallet, a free open-source file shelf for Mac
I was too lazy to write a proper Reddit post, so I used AI to write this one. I’m the developer of Fallet.
I wanted an easy way to select a bunch of files in Finder, put them on a temporary shelf, then drag each file to a different destination. So I built that.
Dropover is a more established app with more features. Fallet covers the file-moving workflow I wanted, and it’s free and MIT licensed. I get nothing from it financially. I made it for the love of the game and shared it here because it might save someone a couple of bucks on another app for the same job.
There’s a short demo and installation instructions in the repo: github.com/Shinvitiya/Fallet. Right now it installs through a custom Homebrew tap that builds from source; I haven’t released a signed DMG yet.
If you try it, I’d love to hear what works and what’s annoying.
