How can we help?

Keep scrolling. The shelf starts with recent items and adds older weeks before you reach the end, skipping empty weeks. There is no date-range switch. Search, Pinned, and Review still cover all indexed dates.

Corbel requires macOS 26 or later on an Apple silicon or Intel Mac.

Your files are not uploaded to Lumany. Search, thumbnails, notes, and organization run on your Mac. Sharing uses the destination you choose, and Apple handles any iCloud Photos downloads.

Open Settings > Appearance. Choose a ready-made look or a custom color, then adjust shelf size and appearance strength. The expanded library matches the shelf by default.

Right-click an image and choose Add Note. Notes stay private on your Mac and are included when you search.

Press Command-Shift-5, open Options, and turn off Show Floating Thumbnail. New captures can then appear in the shelf without waiting for the system thumbnail.

Direct-download copies from version 1.0.60 check for signed updates automatically. Use Corbel > Check for Updates, or Settings > General > Updates, to check manually or allow automatic installation. Earlier copies need one final download to add the updater. Mac App Store copies update through Apple; enable automatic updates in the App Store’s settings.

Confirm that macOS is saving screenshots to the same folder shown under Settings > Library. If the path changed or access was revoked, choose that folder again. Other folder changes are detected automatically.

Single-click either neighboring icon in the three-icon switcher on the shelf or full library. The selected view moves to the center. Shift-Command-D also cycles views.

Press Option-Shift-Space from any app, or click the Corbel menu-bar icon. Settings > Shelf > Open your shelf offers alternative keyboard shortcuts. The Advanced section contains click-to-open or hover-to-open at the screen edge. Option-click the menu-bar icon for Quick Stack; right-click for app controls.

Yes. In Screenshots or Downloads, click the sorting folder button beside Pin. Choose a recent folder or create and name one inside the shelf. The green button and pill light show when new files in that category are being saved there. Click the button again to stop. Sorting stops automatically after 10 minutes without new files or filing activity. Choose 5 minutes or Never under Stop when idle. Expand the folder to browse its contents alongside your other files.

Select files with Command-click, Shift-click, or by dragging a selection box from an empty margin. Drag the selection onto a folder in the shelf, or right-click to create a folder with the selected items. Screenshots and Downloads stay in their connected locations unless you organize them.

Open the full library, choose Review, then click Focus at the bottom. A full-screen glass backdrop presents one item at a time. Press Left Arrow to mark for discard, Right Arrow to keep, or Up/Down to browse without deciding. The timeline on the right lets you skim your review queue. Command-Z undoes a decision, Space plays or pauses a video, and Escape returns to Review at your place. Review Discarded returns to the discard pile; files are only deleted after the existing final confirmation.

Yes. When you copy, drag, or share a HEIC or HEIF image from Shelf, it prepares a full-resolution JPEG or PNG that other apps can use. Originals remain unchanged. A Photos original stored in iCloud may need to download first. Files shared directly from Finder or another app keep their original format.

Folder-based files go to macOS Trash; Command-Z can undo a Shelf trash action during the same session. Photos deletions use Apple Photos after confirmation and can be recovered in Photos → Recently Deleted. Removing an item from the shelf does not delete its original.

After trying your first screenshot, choose Add Downloads or Photos to connect extra sources. Click Connect Photos and grant access when macOS asks, then choose Start Using Shelf. Both extra sources are optional. You can also connect later from the Photos view. If access was previously denied, Connect Photos opens the Photos privacy controls in System Settings. Photos shows photos and videos, including Live Photo stills; album editing is not included.

In Photos, click the refresh icon beside Share in the side shelf or in the full library. The icon animates while Shelf checks the Photos library on this Mac. Apple controls iCloud syncing, so refresh cannot force a photo from your iPhone to reach the Mac. If it is also missing in Apple Photos, check that app's library sync status first.

Yes. Photos, Downloads, and the Screenshots folder include videos. Select a video and press Space to play it; copy, drag, or share it as a video file. Recent Photos previews prepare in the background after launch. Opening or sharing a video stored only in iCloud may need a download first. Playback depends on the formats supported by macOS.

Yes. Downloads includes completed downloads of general file types, including PDFs, ZIP archives, documents, and images. Items are ordered by their arrival information; a newly downloaded archive does not need a recent original modification date to appear near the top. In-progress downloads appear after they finish.

Select an image in the full library. The right-side Details panel has an At a glance summary and expandable categories for the metadata available in that image. Your expanded categories stay open as you browse. Load full details from iCloud retrieves an original only when you request it.

Select an item and press Space. Use the up and down arrow keys to browse while Quick Look stays open. PDFs also show a first-page preview directly in the shelf; Space opens the document.

Yes. Under Settings > Shelf, choose Stay tucked for a draggable screenshot thumbnail beside the pill. Thumbnail duration is adjustable from 1–60 seconds; hovering or dragging pauses the countdown. Choose Peek briefly or Open shelf if you prefer the full shelf to open. Customize by source keeps separate behavior for screenshots, downloads, and photos. Advanced contains source switching and layout options. New arrivals wait while you edit, drag, or use the full library.

Open Settings > Appearance and adjust Shelf size from 80% to 140%. Previews, cards, and controls scale together, keeping three or six full cards. Larger sizes automatically fit the current display. Your preference is saved; Reset restores 100%. The collapsed pill stays compact.

Yes. Corbel is the new name for Screenshot Shelf, made by Lumany. Your library, preferences, and existing updates carry over. The tuck icon and the shelf you know are still here.

macOS requires explicit permission before an app can display, search, drag, or delete files in a folder. Corbel can access only the Screenshots and Downloads locations you choose through the system picker.

Photos titles, notes, pins, and review decisions are private Shelf metadata. They do not rename or edit the original in Apple Photos. Folder-based files can be renamed on disk.

Choosing another folder replaces the saved folder permission. Removing Corbel and its local application data clears its saved access and metadata.
