Pouchy demo

The first public release. 🎉

Highlights

  • Shake to summon. Grab any file, shake the mouse a little, and Pouchy pops up right where you are. You can also bump the screen edge or press Alt + Shift + Z.
  • Park anything. Files, folders, multi-file stacks, images, text, links and colour values.
  • Drop anywhere. Drag items out to any app. Files are copied by default (hold Shift to move), and a picture of the tile follows the cursor.
  • Meet Pouchy. A reactive mascot that gets excited while you drag, hops happily when fed, and looks puzzled when a search finds nothing.

Added

  • Shelves
    • Coloured tabs with 40 icons. They collapse to icons when space is tight.
    • Move items between shelves by dragging them onto a tab.
  • Search, labels and undo
    • Search every shelf with Ctrl + F.
    • Finder-style colour labels that tint the tile.
    • Pin items so Clear keeps them.
    • Undo removals (Ctrl + Z).
  • Thumbnail grid using real Windows thumbnails for photos, videos, PDFs and Office files. Stacks show a fanned preview. Grid, List and Compact views.
  • Right-click menu
    • Open, Open with, Quick Look, Show in folder.
    • Copy path, Rename, Move or Copy to.
    • ZIP and unzip.
    • Image convert and resize, text extraction (OCR) and Set as wallpaper.
    • Note editing and case tools.
    • The Windows share sheet.
    • The full Explorer menu (7-Zip, Send to and so on).
  • Smart items:
    • URLs become link cards with the page title and icon.
    • #hex and rgb() values become colour swatches you can copy as HEX, RGB or HSL.
  • Themes: Midnight Glass, Frost, Sunset, Paper, Terminal and Follow Windows, plus your own themes as JSON files that reload live (guide).
  • Customisation: tile size, columns, background opacity, open animations, reduce motion, gesture sensitivity, ignored apps and your own hotkey.
  • Keyboard support: Enter, Space, F2, Del, Ctrl + A/C/V/N/P/G/T, Ctrl + 1–9, and the menu key.
  • Tray menu with quick actions, shelf, theme and view switching, and Pause gestures.
  • Update notifications: Pouchy checks GitHub for a new release about once a day. You can turn this off in Settings → About.
  • Start with Windows, single instance, and items saved between sessions.
