System Tray
Lives quietly in the tray — one click or shortcut away, never in the way.
Stash
A modern file shelf for Windows. Park files in the tray, drag them back when you need them — references only, no clutter.
Open anytime with Ctrl+Shift+Space

Stash
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Built as a lightweight productivity tool — focused on temporary files, not another cloud drive.
Drag & Drop
Drop files onto shelves, then drag them into Explorer, browsers, or any app.
Multiple Shelves
Organize by context: Work, Personal, Temporary — each with its own accent.
Search
Find files instantly by name, type, or shelf without opening Explorer.
Themes
Fluent light and dark themes with accent colors that feel native to Windows 11.
Auto Launch
Start with Windows so your shelf is ready the moment you sign in.
Auto Update
Updates arrive from GitHub Releases — stay current without hunting installers.
SQLite
Fast local metadata only. Your files stay on disk; nothing is uploaded.
Localization
Full Turkish and English UI, including tray menus and system messaging.
Why Stash
Stop parking files on the desktop
Windows never gave you a proper temporary shelf. Stash does — without moving or uploading a byte.
Without Stash
- Desktop clutter
- Downloads folder chaos
- Constant Explorer switching
- Lost temporary files
With Stash
- Clean desktop
- Organized shelves
- Instant tray access
- A clearer workflow
Interface
The real Stash panel — light and dark
Fluent surfaces, shelf pills, and file cards that match the installed app.

FAQ
Straight answers
The short version: local references, no uploads, open source.
No. Stash stores references (paths) only. Your files stay exactly where they are on disk.
