Gladys - Free Shelf Utility that Syncs With iOS
I recently discovered Gladys, a free app that allows you to stash a variety of data types an a shelf on your computer display to retrieve later or to access from another computer or iOS device. I quickly tested:
- A dragged image from a web page
- Pasted text copied from the web
- A URL dragged from my browser
- An image file from Finder
- A text document from Finder
All of these quickly synced via iCloud and were available immediately on my iPhone.
Some of the functionality is similar to Yoink, a paid app that also features a clipboard manager and a notes function.
Gladys is a native Mac app that supports standard keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste, handoff, Quicklook, Spotlight, Handoff, service integrations and a share extension for apps that don't support drag & drop. You can use notes and labels for each item you add if desired. The app has built in search for any element. You can share items from Gladys with other users of the app, helpful on a workplace team or in a family environment. Glady collections can be exported and imported via .zip files.
Gladys has a strict privacy policy and employs no analytics. You can download it on the Mac App Store.
