Shelf Studio

Native desktop app that turns the desktop or any folder into a browsable screenshot grid—search inside images with on-device text recognition, tag and batch-organize fast, with familiar folder workflows and no uploads.

Overview

Screenshots pile up; Finder is not built for this workflow. People needed a visual grid, search inside captures, and bulk actions without sending images to the cloud—especially for design refs, bugs, and daily captures.

Built filters for Finder tags and date groups, instant preview and inline actions, smart folder sources, and auto-refresh so new shots appear without manual reload. Native grid with on-device recognition and smart sources.

Shipped a desktop-native experience that feels like the file browser—faster, smarter, and purpose-built for screenshots on device.
