- Worth noticing
- The file shelf remembers where dragged-in files live; the homepage says they are neither copied nor uploaded.
Field notes
The homepage describes an island that stays compact until hover or interaction, avoids taking keyboard focus, and hides during fullscreen games and videos. Its media controls depend on Windows media controls, while the file shelf is presented as a temporary staging area that retains file locations. Visitors can test several controls in a simulated desktop; the site notes that the demo is small on phones.
