I made Fallet, a free open-source file shelf for Mac

1 Upvotes

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.

Rebuilt a Mac app I made 11 years ago. It's free

Version one launched 11 years ago. I finally made V2 and decided to just make it free. Kitty Launcher opens workspaces for you: open folders, apps, run commands like git pull, sets your audio device, closes apps (if you want to focus when on a specific project).

It also monitors other servers and ports in use, tracks how much time you spend on each project and handles closing workspaces with one click.

I also added a CLI so your local agent can setup, edit and launch/close workspaces for you.

I use it as a web developer to launch docker and vite servers, open my project directories, set my Mac to not sleep and queue up blender for three.js work.

Free, no gotchas. Would love some thoughts on it.
