What changed in Shelf V2

V1 gave Shelf a place to keep things. V2 asked what it would mean to remember them.

A dark bar of light along the top edge of a screen

V1 was about the motion: move something to the top of the screen and it is kept. That part did not change, and it should not.

V2 is about what happens after you keep something.

It reads what you keep

Screenshots, links, PDFs and notes are understood on your Mac, so you can find them by their substance instead of their filename.

It connects things

Related items surface with a stated reason. No mysterious suggestions, no similarity score standing in for meaning.

It finds things from a fuzzy memory

Describe the thing the way you remember it: the idea, not the words. Shelf brings back the item.

Local first. Still.

No account required.

Manual updates, on purpose.

The full story of how this happened is in the changelog. This is the part you need if you are just installing it today.
