Overview

Amove is a small macOS tool I made specifically to suit my own needs: moving files around easily without the hassle of opening two Finder windows, finding the directory again, and dragging files across manually.

Amove adds a floating shelf. Drop files onto it, navigate to the destination, then drag them back out. That is the whole idea.

Why I made it

I had been using Dropover, but its free version only accepts a drop within five seconds of opening the shelf. The timer interrupted the exact action the app was meant to simplify. I did not want a subscription for one small Finder operation, so I made my own version.

I added window routing because I kept reaching for that too. A command moves the active window to another display. It is unrelated to the file shelf, but both features remove a few irritating seconds from tasks I repeat all day.

Current state

Amove is in maintenance. It does the two jobs I built it for. I will fix bugs, but I do not plan to turn it into a larger Finder replacement.
