Shelf

Drop it. Keep it.
Drag it out.

Drag anything onto the shelf at the edge of your screen. Nestra keeps its own copy, so it is still there after a restart, even if the original was a temporary file or a picture from the web.

Stacks name themselves.

Files dropped together become one stack, like "3 PDFs". Click to open it, take one out, or drag the whole set.

Drag a real copy anywhere.

Explorer, email, chat and web apps take it like a normal file, and the shelf keeps its own.

Your clipboard, right there.

What you copy waits on the shelf too. Click to copy it again, or drag it straight into any app.

Clipboard and Recall

Copy now.
Find it later.

Nestra keeps a private history of what you copy. Press Ctrl+Shift+Space, type a few letters, and press Enter to paste straight into the app you were in.

Finds words in pictures. Photos and screenshots are read on your PC, so "estrela" finds the tram with it on its sign.

Secrets stay hidden. Keys and passwords show masked until you hover, and password-manager copies are never kept.

Paste in a keystroke. Ctrl+1 to 9 pastes the top clips. Shift+Enter pastes plain text. Pin what you reuse.

Capture

Show, don't type.

Capture a region or a window, then add arrows, numbered steps, a highlight, a label, blur or a spotlight. Copy it, save it, or keep it on the shelf.
