Merf

A little drawer for the things you keep reaching for.

The pencil figure opens a teal drawer beside bookshelves folding through space, while a note travels between repeated shelves. — Some things are worth reaching across time for.

I’m making Merf for the small things that get scattered across a day: a note, a reference image, a file I want nearby. It keeps them in a drawer at the edge of the Mac’s screen.

Choose a folder, bring the drawer into view with a global shortcut, then browse, open or drag a file into your work. You can also write a quick note or capture copied text and images.

The pencil figure reaches for a floating teal drawer tethered nearby, against a loosely sketched planet. — Even the little things deserve a safe orbit.
