Read the full description
Wedge keeps your shelves as tabs on the edge of the screen. Start dragging a file from Explorer, the desktop or a browser and they slide out; drop it on one, then drag it into any app later. Files stay where they are, Wedge only remembers them. A pocket gathers files from different folders to drag out at once, links and text can be dropped too, and the tabs can hide away completely. Free and open source, no account, no telemetry, 10 languages.
