One-time purchase, no subscription, up to 3 Macs, free updates. - **Requires:** macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon and Intel - **Version:** 0.3.0 (2026-11-08) - **Download size:** 3.8 MB - **Category:** Productivity - **Made by:** Glowbug (https://glowbugapps.com), by Ayesha Gagan - **Page:** https://glowbugapps.com/shelfy - **App website:** https://shelfydock.com - **Film:** https://glowbugapps.com/films/shelfy.mp4 - **Buy:** https://glowbugapps.com/buy/shelfy - **Support:** adgan.business@gmail.com It is made for people who drag things all day: a PDF from Mail into a form, three screenshots into a chat, a photo from Downloads into a slide. Instead of piling files on the Desktop, you drop them on the shelf, and they wait there until you need them. Shelfy lines up with the Dock to the pixel, resizes with it, hides with it and steps aside for full-screen apps. There is nothing to set up: open it, and the shelf is already where your eyes go. ## A shelf that knows where your Dock is The left side of the Dock holds whatever you drop on it: files, folders, links, text and images. Dragging something off the shelf copies it, so the original stays exactly where it was. - Follows files that are renamed or moved, and says so when one is missing - Pin what you want to keep; the rest clears itself after 7 days (or 1, 30, never) - Every removal can be undone ## Your newest screenshot is always one drag away The other side of the Dock shows your ten newest screenshots and ten newest downloads, ready to drag into a chat, an email or a document. Unfinished downloads stay hidden until they are done. - Screenshots you copy with ⌃⇧⌘4 are kept too: the newest twenty, for a week - ⌃⌥V pastes the newest screenshot where you are typing and leaves your clipboard alone - Since 0.3 it can show any folder, or a clipboard history you turn on yourself ## Everything in one panel with ⇧⌘Space One shortcut opens the shelf, your screenshots and downloads in a single searchable panel. Type a few letters, press Space to look closer with Quick Look, Return to open. Search even finds words inside screenshots. - Change the shortcut, or turn it off - Paste with ⌘V straight into the open panel to add something - Text in screenshots is read on your Mac and kept in memory only ## Right-click, and the job is done Right-click anything on the shelf to compress it, convert it, resize it, remove its background or the hidden location in a photo, copy the text out of an image or PDF, merge PDFs, make a GIF, or zip it. Each action makes a new file; the original is never changed. - Convert to JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP - Runs on your Mac: nothing is uploaded - Open With, Copy Path, Rename, AirDrop and Markup are right there too ## Shake to Shelf, and a tidy Desktop in one click Shake the pointer while you drag a file and a shelf appears right under it. Tidy My Desktop moves everything on your Desktop into a dated folder in Documents, with Undo, and never deletes a thing. - Notes on the shelf for the thing you must not forget - Import from iPhone with Continuity Camera - Hold ⌥ while dragging several files out to drop them as one zip ## Features - **Lines up with the Dock:** Resizes, hides and moves with it, and steps aside for full-screen apps. - **Recents strip:** Ten newest screenshots and downloads, ready to drag. - **⇧⌘Space search:** Shelf, screenshots and downloads in one panel, with Quick Look. - **One-click actions:** Compress, convert, resize, remove backgrounds and hidden info, copy text. - **Shake to Shelf:** Shake while dragging and a shelf appears under the pointer. - **Weighs nothing:** About 0.1% CPU and 26 MB of memory while it waits. > According to Glowbug’s own measurement, Shelfy uses about 0.1% CPU (0.12% on average, 2.3% at its busiest moment) and 26 MB of memory while idle beside the Dock. (Shelfy 0.2.2, the release build, on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with macOS 15.7.4, sampled with top every 5 seconds for 10 minutes, memory read with footprint, on 4 November 2026.) ## Pricing - **Shelfy: $9.99**, up to 3 Macs. Buy: https://glowbugapps.com/buy/shelfy Pay once. No subscription and no account. There is no free trial and all sales are final, so the demo at the top of this page is the way to try it first. ## Questions ### Which Macs does Shelfy work on? Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel. The download is 3.8 MB, signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. ### What permissions does Shelfy ask for? Both are optional. Accessibility only lets it read where the Dock is, so the shelf lines up with it. Desktop and Downloads access only lets it list what is new there. ### How many Macs can I use my Shelfy license on? Up to 3 of your own Macs. If you replace one, email adgan.business@gmail.com and its place is freed for the new Mac. ### Does dragging a file off the shelf move it? No. Dragging out copies it and the original stays where it was. If you want to move a file onto the shelf instead, hold ⌘ while you drop it. ### How long do things stay on the shelf? Seven days by default, or 1 day, 30 days or never if you choose. Pinned items stay until you remove them, and every removal can be undone. ### Can Shelfy paste my newest screenshot for me? Yes. ⌃⌥V pastes the newest screenshot into whatever you are typing in, and leaves your clipboard exactly as it was. ### Does Shelfy upload my files anywhere? No. It only remembers where your files are. It goes online for two things: checking your license with Gumroad and checking for updates. ### Why isn’t Shelfy on the Mac App Store? Lining the shelf up with the Dock needs the Accessibility permission, which Mac App Store apps are not allowed to use. Shelfy is sold directly instead. ## Guides about Shelfy - [How to Copy a Screenshot to the Clipboard on Mac](https://glowbugapps.com/blog/shelfy/copy-screenshot-to-clipboard-mac.md) - [How to Clean Up a Messy Mac Desktop (and Keep It Clean)](https://glowbugapps.com/blog/shelfy/clean-up-mac-desktop.md) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/chargeberry # Chargeberry: A kinder way to charge your MacBook > Chargeberry stops your MacBook charging at the limit you choose, 80% by default, so the charger runs the Mac and the battery rests while you work plugged in. - **What it is:** Stop charging at the limit you choose, pause when the battery is hot, and be full by the time you need it. - **Price:** $5.99 for Chargeberry.

Chargeberry holds the battery lower, lets the charger power the Mac directly, and pauses charging when the battery gets hot. When you do need a full battery, it is one click away, or set for a time: “Full by 8:30 every weekday” charges as late as is safe, from its own measurements of your charger. ## Stops at the limit you choose Pick any limit from 50 to 100%, or a preset: Desk 60%, Daily 80% or Travel 100%. At the limit the charger powers the Mac and the battery rests. Charging starts again a few percent lower, so it doesn’t click on and off all day. - The limit holds with the app closed, after a restart and for every user - Charging resumes 3% lower by default (1–10%, your choice) - Drain down to the limit with the charger still plugged in ## Pauses when the battery gets hot Heat ages a battery faster than anything else. Chargeberry pauses charging when the battery reaches the temperature you choose, from 35 to 45 °C, and starts again once it has cooled by 2 °C. - 40 °C by default - Starts again by itself once the battery has cooled - A notification tells you when it pauses, if you want one ## Full by 8:30, every weekday Charge to 100% Now tops up immediately and the limit comes back when you unplug. Full by holds the limit overnight, then starts charging as late as is safe so the battery is full right when you leave. - Schedules for days of the week, with Skip in the menu - Charging times learned from your own charger - A low battery warning at the level you pick, and time left in the menu bar ## See how your battery is really doing Chargeberry keeps a daily record of your battery’s health and shows the trend, along with live power flow between the charger, the battery and the Mac, in watts. Once a month a Battery Wrapped card sums it up. - Monthly calibration with one click, to keep macOS’s percentage honest - Spots Optimized Battery Charging and other battery apps that could fight it - A command line tool, chargeberryctl, for scripts ## Built so your Mac always charges again If anything holding the charging switches quits or crashes, normal charging comes back. Deleting the app makes its helper restore normal charging and leave. And the charger is only ever paused while the Mac is fully awake. - A small helper, approved once in System Settings, talks to the battery controller - On macOS 27 it sets macOS’s own charge limit, 80 to 100% - Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple ## Features - **Any limit, 50–100%:** Desk, Daily and Travel presets, or your own number. - **Heat protection:** Pauses at the temperature you choose and resumes 2 °C cooler. - **Full by:** Be full at a set time, or every weekday, charging as late as is safe. - **Drain down:** Run on the battery with the charger plugged in, down to the limit. - **Health and Wrapped:** Daily health history and a monthly card you can share. - **Weighs nothing:** About 0.1% CPU and 13 MB of memory in the menu bar. > According to Glowbug’s own measurement, Chargeberry uses about 0.1% CPU (0.13% on average, 0.4% at its busiest moment) and 13 MB of memory in the menu bar, and its helper about 0.03% CPU and 7 MB. (A development build of Chargeberry 1.1.2 on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with macOS 15.7.4, sampled with top every 5 seconds for 10 minutes, memory read with footprint, on 6 November 2026.) ## Pricing - **Chargeberry: $5.99**, up to 3 Macs.

MacBooks with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs are not supported. ### Why does Chargeberry need a helper? Only a background helper can talk to the battery controller and keep your limit while the app is closed, after a restart and for every user. You approve it once in System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions. ### How many Macs can I use my Chargeberry license on? Up to 3 of your own Macs. If you replace one, email adgan.business@gmail.com and its place is freed. ### What limit should I set for my MacBook? 80% is a good everyday limit and the default. If your Mac almost never leaves the desk, Desk (60%) keeps the battery even calmer; before a trip, Travel (100%) or Charge to 100% Now. ### What happens if Chargeberry crashes or I delete it? Normal charging comes back. In testing it came back within 1 second when the process holding a charging switch was killed, and deleting the app makes the helper restore charging and remove itself. ### Does Chargeberry work on macOS 27? Yes, with a smaller range. Apple locked the charging controls in macOS 27, so there Chargeberry sets macOS’s own charge limit (80 to 100%). Limits below 80%, drain down, calibration and heat pausing are not available on macOS 27. ### macOS has a charge limit now. Do I still need Chargeberry? For a simple 80% cap, macOS Tahoe 26.4’s own Charge Limit may be enough. Chargeberry adds limits below 80% (before macOS 27), heat pausing, Full by schedules, drain down, calibration and a health history. ### Does Chargeberry collect any battery data? No. Battery data stays on your Mac. The app goes online only to check your license with Gumroad and to check for updates. ## Guides about Chargeberry - [How to Check Your MacBook’s Battery Health and Cycle Count](https://glowbugapps.com/blog/chargeberry/check-macbook-battery-health.md) - [What Is Optimized Battery Charging on Mac, and Should You Turn It Off?](https://glowbugapps.com/blog/chargeberry/optimized-battery-charging-mac.md) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/invoicewell # Invoicewell: Invoices you can just ask for > Invoicewell is a Mac app for invoices and quotes.

Paste it with Command-V. By Ayesha Gagan, Glowbug. Published 2026-11-12. https://glowbugapps.com/blog/shelfy/copy-screenshot-to-clipboard-mac About: [Shelfy](https://glowbugapps.com/shelfy.md), A file shelf beside your Dock. Saving every screenshot as a file is how a Desktop fills up with “Screenshot 2026-11-12 at 09.41.png”. If you only want to paste the picture into a chat, an email or an AI tool, copy it to the clipboard instead. macOS has this built in; it is just hidden behind one extra key. ## The shortcuts: add Control Every screenshot shortcut copies to the clipboard instead of saving a file when you also hold Control. Apple’s guide to [taking screenshots on Mac](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-a-screenshot-mh26782/mac) gives the tip in one line: press and hold Control while you press the other keys. Mac screenshot shortcuts, saved and copied | What you want | Save a file | Copy to the clipboard | | --- | --- | --- | | The whole screen | ⇧⌘3 | ⌃⇧⌘3 | | Part of the screen | ⇧⌘4, then drag | ⌃⇧⌘4, then drag | | One window | ⇧⌘4, then Space, then click | ⌃⇧⌘4, then Space, then click | With ⇧⌘4 you can also start dragging first and press Control just before you let go. The picture lands on the clipboard either way. ## Paste it 1. Take the screenshot with Control held down. You hear the shutter, but no file appears. 2. Click where it should go: a message, an email, a Notes page, a chat with an AI assistant. 3. Press ⌘V. The clipboard holds one thing at a time, so the next thing you copy replaces the screenshot. If you might need it again, save it as a file instead. ## Make the clipboard the default If you almost never want screenshot files, change where they go: 1. Press ⇧⌘5 to open the Screenshot toolbar. 2. Click **Options**. 3. Under **Save to**, choose **Clipboard**. From then on ⇧⌘3 and ⇧⌘4 copy without Control, until you pick a folder again in the same menu. The same Options menu has **Show Floating Thumbnail**: while the small preview sits in the corner of the screen, you can drag it straight into a document or an email. ## Change the keys If ⌃⇧⌘4 is too much of a stretch, open System Settings › Keyboard, click **Keyboard Shortcuts**, then **Screenshots**, and give “Copy picture of selected area to the clipboard” a shortcut you like. ## The catch: a copied screenshot is easy to lose Copying keeps your Desktop clean, but the screenshot only lives until you copy something else. Copy a link to paste beside it, and the picture is gone. There is no built-in list of the screenshots you copied. ## The faster way: Shelfy [Shelfy](/shelfy) keeps a strip beside your Dock with your newest screenshots and downloads, and it keeps screenshots you copied with ⌃⇧⌘3 or ⌃⇧⌘4 too: the newest twenty, for a week. So a copied screenshot is never really lost. - **Paste the newest screenshot any time.** ⌃⌥V pastes it into whatever you are typing in, and leaves your clipboard exactly as it was. - **Drag instead of paste.** Drag any of them from the strip into a chat, an email or a form. - **Find an old one by its words.** ⇧⌘Space searches the shelf, screenshots and downloads, including the text inside screenshots. Shelfy keeps the copied pictures on your Mac; nothing is uploaded. It needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and costs $9.99 once. ## FAQ ### Where do screenshots copied to the clipboard go on a Mac? Nowhere on disk. They stay on the clipboard until you paste them or copy something else. If you need a file, paste into Preview with File › New from Clipboard, or take the screenshot without Control. ### Why is my Mac screenshot not copying to the clipboard? Check that you are holding Control together with Shift and Command, and that Screenshot’s Options › Save to isn’t set to a folder you expect to see. Some apps that show protected video block screenshots. ### Can I copy and save a Mac screenshot at the same time? Not with one shortcut. Take it normally to save a file, then drag the floating thumbnail where you need it, or keep it with an app such as Shelfy that remembers copied screenshots. ### How do I paste a screenshot into ChatGPT or Claude on a Mac? Press Control-Shift-Command-4, drag over the area, click the message box in the chat, and press Command-V. The image is attached to your message. ### Can I change the screenshot shortcuts on a Mac? Yes. In System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts › Screenshots you can change or turn off each one, including the copy-to-clipboard versions. ## Sources - [Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-a-screenshot-mh26782/mac) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/blog/chargeberry/check-macbook-battery-health # How to Check Your MacBook’s Battery Health and Cycle Count > Open System Settings › Battery and click the info button next to Battery Health to see its maximum capacity.

Two numbers tell you how your MacBook’s battery is doing: its **maximum capacity**, how much charge it can hold compared with when it was new, and its **cycle count**, how much use it has had. Both are built into macOS, a few clicks apart. ## Find the battery health 1. From the Apple menu, choose **System Settings**. 2. Click **Battery** in the sidebar. 3. Click the info button **(i)** next to **Battery Health**. You see the battery’s condition, such as Normal, and its **Maximum Capacity** as a percentage of what it held when new. The same window has the switch for Optimized Battery Charging. ## Find the cycle count Apple’s page on [determining battery cycle count](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102888) gives the steps: 1. Hold the Option key and choose **System Information** from the Apple menu. 2. Click **Power** in the sidebar. 3. Under **Battery Information**, read the **Cycle Count**. The same section shows the condition and the full charge capacity in mAh. ## What counts as a cycle A charge cycle is using all of the battery’s power, but not necessarily in one go. Apple’s example: use half the battery one day and recharge it, then do the same the next day, and that is one cycle, not two. A day of light use might be a fifth of a cycle. ## What the numbers mean Apple designs MacBook batteries to keep up to 80% of their original capacity at their maximum cycle count, and lists that count per model. For recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models it is 1,000 cycles. Reading your MacBook battery numbers | You see | What it means | | --- | --- | | Maximum capacity above 80% | The battery is within what Apple designs for. | | Maximum capacity near or below 80% | You’ll notice shorter battery life; macOS may say service is recommended. | | Cycle count well under the maximum | Plenty of life left in normal use. | | Cycle count at the maximum | Still usable, but Apple suggests a replacement for best performance. | For example, the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) that Chargeberry is tested on read 83% maximum capacity after 353 of its 1,000 cycles on 6 November 2026. ## How to slow battery aging Apple’s [page on Optimized Battery Charging](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338) explains that a battery’s chemical age depends on its temperature history and charging pattern, not only on time. In practice that means two habits help most: - **Don’t sit at 100% for hours.** A MacBook that lives on its charger spends most of its life full. Optimized Battery Charging, or a charge limit, keeps it lower. - **Keep it cool.** Heat ages lithium-ion batteries faster, especially while charging. Don’t charge under a pillow or in direct sun. ## The easier way: Chargeberry [Chargeberry](/chargeberry) shows your health and cycles right in the menu bar, and works on the habits that decide them: - **A daily health history.** It records your battery’s health every day and shows the trend, plus a monthly Battery Wrapped card. - **A charge limit.** It stops charging at 80% by default, or anywhere from 50 to 100%, so the charger runs the Mac and the battery rests. - **Heat protection.** It pauses charging when the battery reaches the temperature you choose. If you’d like to estimate how many cycles your battery has left, Chargeberry’s site has a free [battery health calculator](https://chargeberry.app/battery-health-calculator/). Chargeberry runs on MacBooks with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later, for $5.99 once. ## FAQ ### What is a good battery health percentage for a MacBook? Anything above 80% maximum capacity is within what Apple designs for. Apple’s batteries are built to keep up to 80% of their original capacity at their maximum cycle count. ### How many charge cycles does a MacBook battery last? Recent MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are rated for 1,000 cycles. Apple lists the maximum for every model on its cycle count support page. ### Is 300 cycles a lot for a MacBook? No. On a battery rated for 1,000 cycles, 300 cycles is less than a third of its rated life. ### Can I see my MacBook battery health in Terminal? Yes: system_profiler SPPowerDataType prints the cycle count, condition and full charge capacity, the same values System Information shows under Power. ### Does keeping my MacBook plugged in ruin the battery? Not quickly, but sitting at 100% while warm ages it faster. Optimized Battery Charging or a charge limit such as Chargeberry’s 80% keeps it lower while plugged in. ## Sources - [Determine battery cycle count for Mac laptops](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102888) - [About Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit on Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/blog/invoicewell/what-to-put-on-an-invoice # What to Put on an Invoice: A Checklist for Freelancers > An invoice needs your details, your client’s details, a unique number, the date, a due date, what you are billing for with prices, the total, and how to pay you. By Ayesha Gagan, Glowbug. Published 2026-11-12. https://glowbugapps.com/blog/invoicewell/what-to-put-on-an-invoice About: [Invoicewell](https://glowbugapps.com/invoicewell.md), Invoices you can just ask for. A clear invoice gets paid faster, because nobody has to email you back with a question. Use this list for every invoice, whatever app or template you make it in. Rules differ by country, so if you charge sales tax or VAT, check what your tax office requires on top of this. ## The checklist What every invoice should include | Item | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | The word “Invoice” | So nobody mistakes it for a quote or a receipt. | | Your name or business name, address and email | Who is asking to be paid, and where to reply. | | Your client’s name and address | Who owes the money. Use the company’s legal name if it is a business. | | A unique invoice number | For both of your records. Never reuse one; numbers in order are easiest. | | The invoice date | When you issued it. Payment terms count from here. | | The due date or payment terms | “Due 12 December 2026” is clearer than “Net 30”. Both is best. | | A line for each thing you are billing | A description, the quantity or hours, the rate and the amount. | | Subtotal, tax and total | Show any tax separately, with its rate. | | How to pay you | Bank details, a payment link or the methods you accept. | | The currency | Essential when your client is in another country. | ## Write lines your client recognizes “Website design, 12.5 hours at $80” is easy to approve. “Services, $1,000” invites a question. Use the words from the quote or the project, list hours or quantities, and add a project name or purchase order number if your client gave you one. ## An example > **Invoice INV-0042** · Issued 12 November 2026 · Due 12 December 2026 > From: Your Studio, hello@yourstudio.example > To: Harbour Labs, 210 Pier Avenue, Portland, OR > Website design: 12.5 hours × $80 = $1,000.00 > Total due: $1,000.00 (USD), by bank transfer to the account below. ## Common mistakes that delay payment - **No due date.** Without one, your invoice joins the “when we get to it” pile. - **Sending it to the wrong person.** Ask who pays invoices; it is often not the person you worked with. - **Missing payment details.** Every extra email costs days. - **A line with no price.** Or a total that doesn’t add up. Check before you send. - **Waiting to send it.** Invoice when the work is delivered, while it is fresh. ## The faster way: Invoicewell [Invoicewell](/invoicewell) is a Mac app for invoices and quotes that fills most of this list in for you, and won’t call an invoice ready until it is: - **Filled in for you.** Your business details (set once), the next invoice number, the client’s address, their payment terms and due date, your tax rate and your usual rate. - **Checked before it goes out.** Your business name, a client, something to bill and a price on every line, or it tells you what is missing. - **Or just ask.** Tell Claude or another AI assistant “Invoice Harbour Labs for this month’s work”, and it asks only what it can’t know. You press Send. Invoicewell runs on macOS 14 or later and costs $19.99 once. ## FAQ ### Does an invoice need an invoice number? Yes. A unique number lets you and your client refer to it and keep records straight. Most people number invoices in order, such as INV-0001, INV-0002. ### What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt? An invoice asks to be paid; a receipt confirms that payment was received. Many freelancers send an invoice first and a receipt or paid invoice afterwards. ### What payment terms should a freelancer use? Common terms are due on receipt, 14 days or 30 days. Shorter terms get paid sooner; whatever you choose, write the actual due date on the invoice. ### Do I have to put my address on an invoice? In many places a business address is expected or required, especially when you charge tax. Check your local rules; at the least, include a way to contact you. ### Can I invoice a client in another currency? Yes. Agree the currency first and state it clearly on the invoice. Invoicewell lets you set a currency for each client. --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/blog/shelfy/clean-up-mac-desktop # How to Clean Up a Messy Mac Desktop (and Keep It Clean) > Turn on Stacks to fold your Desktop into neat piles in one click, then send new screenshots somewhere else so it doesn’t fill up again. Here is every built-in way. By Ayesha Gagan, Glowbug. Published 2026-11-12. https://glowbugapps.com/blog/shelfy/clean-up-mac-desktop About: [Shelfy](https://glowbugapps.com/shelfy.md), A file shelf beside your Dock. A Mac Desktop gets messy for the same three reasons for almost everyone: screenshots land there by default, downloads get dragged there “for a minute”, and it is the easiest place to drop a file you are working on. The fixes below go from one click to a habit that keeps it clean. ## 1\. Turn on Stacks Stacks gather the files on your Desktop into piles by kind: images, PDFs, documents, screenshots. Apple describes them in [Use desktop stacks on Mac](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-stacks-on-the-desktop-mh35846/mac). 1. Click anywhere on the Desktop. 2. Choose **View › Use Stacks** in the menu bar, or right-click the Desktop and choose **Use Stacks**. 3. To group them differently, choose **View › Group Stacks By**, then Kind, a date or Tags. Click a stack to open it, and click again to close it. New files join the right stack by themselves. Stacks don’t move or rename anything: turn them off and every file is back where it was. ## 2\. Sort and line up what is left If you prefer icons to piles, click the Desktop and choose **View › Clean Up By** (Name, Kind or a date) to snap everything into a tidy grid, or **View › Sort By** to keep it sorted from now on. ## 3\. Hide the icons while you work On macOS Sonoma and later, open System Settings › **Desktop & Dock** and turn off **Show Items: On Desktop**. Your files stay in the Desktop folder, and you still reach them in Finder; they just stop covering your wallpaper. This is great for screen sharing, but it hides the mess rather than clearing it. ## 4\. Stop screenshots landing on the Desktop Screenshots are usually most of the clutter. Press ⇧⌘5, click **Options**, and under **Save to** pick Documents, the Clipboard or a folder of your own. Apple’s [screenshot guide](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-a-screenshot-mh26782/mac) lists the choices. ## 5\. Move the lot into one folder The quickest real clean-up: make a folder in Documents named after today’s date, select everything on the Desktop with ⌘A, and drag it in. Nothing is deleted, you can still search for any of it with Spotlight, and your Desktop is empty in ten seconds. ## Why it fills up again All of these clean the Desktop once. It fills up again because the Desktop is doing a job: it is your waiting area for files in use. To keep it clean, that job needs another home. ## The faster way: Shelfy [Shelfy](/shelfy) gives the waiting area a proper home, a glass shelf in the empty space beside your Dock, and cleans up what is already there. - **Tidy My Desktop.** One click moves everything on your Desktop into a dated folder in Documents, with Undo. It never deletes a thing. - **A shelf instead of the Desktop.** Drop the files you are working with beside the Dock. They clear themselves after 7 days unless you pin them, and every removal can be undone. - **Screenshots without the pile.** The other side of the Dock shows your ten newest screenshots and downloads, ready to drag, wherever they were saved. Shelfy runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later and costs $9.99 once. ## FAQ ### Does using Stacks on the Mac Desktop move my files? No. Stacks only change how the Desktop shows its files. They stay in the Desktop folder, and turning Stacks off puts every icon back. ### How do I hide all icons on my Mac Desktop? On macOS Sonoma or later, open System Settings › Desktop & Dock and turn off Show Items: On Desktop. The files are still in the Desktop folder in Finder. ### How do I stop screenshots saving to my Desktop? Press Shift-Command-5, click Options, and choose another place under Save to, such as Documents, the Clipboard or a folder you pick. ### Is it bad to keep lots of files on the Mac Desktop? It is mostly a matter of finding things. Hundreds of icons make the Desktop slow to scan by eye and easy to lose files on, so folders or Stacks help. ### What is the fastest way to clear a Mac Desktop without deleting anything? Select everything with Command-A and drag it into a folder named after today’s date in Documents, or use Shelfy’s Tidy My Desktop, which does the same with Undo. ## Sources - [Use desktop stacks on Mac](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-stacks-on-the-desktop-mh35846/mac) - [Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-a-screenshot-mh26782/mac) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/blog/chargeberry/optimized-battery-charging-mac # What Is Optimized Battery Charging on Mac, and Should You Turn It Off? > Optimized Battery Charging learns your routine and holds your MacBook at 80% until it expects you to unplug. Leave it on, unless a charge limit suits you better. By Ayesha Gagan, Glowbug. Published 2026-11-12. https://glowbugapps.com/blog/chargeberry/optimized-battery-charging-mac About: [Chargeberry](https://glowbugapps.com/chargeberry.md), A kinder way to charge your MacBook. If your MacBook’s battery menu has ever said **Charging On Hold** while it was plugged in, that was Optimized Battery Charging at work. Here is what it does, when it helps, and what to use instead if it doesn’t fit the way you work. ## What Optimized Battery Charging does According to Apple’s support page [About Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit on Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338), the feature reduces the time your Mac spends fully charged. It uses on-device machine learning to learn your daily charging routine, and when it predicts your Mac will stay on power for a long time, it waits to charge past 80%. It aims to finish the charge by the time it expects you to need it. - It needs **macOS Big Sur 11** or later and a Mac laptop. - While it is holding, the battery menu shows **Charging On Hold**. - Need it full now? Choose **Charge to Full Now** in the battery menu. ## How to turn it off (or on) 1. From the Apple menu, choose **System Settings**, then click **Battery**. 2. Click the info button next to **Charging** (or **Battery Health**, on older versions). 3. Turn **Optimized Battery Charging** off or on, then click **Done**. When you turn it off, you can choose to turn it off only until tomorrow. ## Charge Limit, the newer setting macOS Tahoe 26.4 added **Charge Limit** on Macs with Apple silicon. In the same Charging window you can set a limit from 80% to 100%. Your Mac charges to within a few points of it and shows “Charged to \[%\] Limit”; if the charge drops more than 5% while on power, it charges back up. Apple notes that with either feature your Mac will still occasionally charge to 100% to keep its battery percentage accurate. ## Should you turn it off? Which charging setting fits you | Your routine | Good fit | | --- | --- | | Regular days, unplugged at about the same time | Optimized Battery Charging: it learns the pattern. | | Always on the desk, irregular hours | A charge limit: it holds 80% no matter what, where Optimized Charging may not predict your day. | | You need 100% at short notice | Either, with Charge to Full Now when you need it. | | You use a charge limiter app | Usually turn Optimized Charging off, so the two don’t get in each other’s way. | The weak spot of Optimized Battery Charging is that it is a prediction. If your days have no pattern, it may simply charge to 100% and sit there. A charge limit doesn’t guess. ## Going further: Chargeberry [Chargeberry](/chargeberry) is a charge limiter for MacBooks with Apple silicon. It holds the limit you choose every time, and adds what macOS doesn’t: - **Limits below 80%.** Any limit from 50 to 100% on macOS 14 to 26, with Desk (60%), Daily (80%) and Travel (100%) presets. On macOS 27, Apple locked the charging controls, so there Chargeberry sets macOS’s own limit, 80 to 100%. - **Heat protection.** It pauses charging when the battery reaches the temperature you choose. - **Full by a time.** Hold 80% overnight and be full at 8:30 every weekday, charging as late as is safe. - **It tells you about conflicts.** If Optimized Battery Charging or another battery app could fight its limit, Chargeberry says so. For a plain 80% cap on macOS 26.4 or later, Apple’s own Charge Limit may be all you need. Chargeberry is $5.99 once, for macOS 14 or later. ## FAQ ### Why does my MacBook say Charging On Hold? Optimized Battery Charging is holding the battery at 80% because it expects your Mac to stay plugged in for a while. Choose Charge to Full Now in the battery menu to charge to 100% right away. ### Is Optimized Battery Charging good for my MacBook? Yes, for most people. It reduces the time the battery spends full, which slows its aging. It works best if you unplug at about the same times each day. ### What is the difference between Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit? Optimized Battery Charging predicts when you’ll unplug and delays the last 20%. Charge Limit, on macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later with Apple silicon, holds a fixed limit from 80 to 100% all the time. ### Should I turn off Optimized Battery Charging if I use a charge limiter? Usually yes. Two features deciding when to charge can get in each other’s way. Chargeberry tells you when Optimized Battery Charging is on. ### Why does my Mac still charge to 100% sometimes? Apple says Macs occasionally charge to 100% with Optimized Battery Charging or Charge Limit on, to keep the battery percentage estimate accurate. ## Sources - [About Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit on Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338) --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/blog/invoicewell/payment-reminder-email # How to Write a Polite Payment Reminder (With 3 Templates) > Send a friendly nudge a day or two after the due date, a firmer follow-up a week later, and a final notice after that. Keep each one short, specific and kind. By Ayesha Gagan, Glowbug. Published 2026-11-12. https://glowbugapps.com/blog/invoicewell/payment-reminder-email About: [Invoicewell](https://glowbugapps.com/invoicewell.md), Invoices you can just ask for. Most late invoices aren’t ignored on purpose. They are stuck in an inbox, waiting for an approval, or sent to someone who doesn’t pay the bills. A short, specific reminder fixes most of them. Here is a simple three-step plan and the words to use. ## When to send each reminder A simple reminder schedule | When | Tone | Goal | | --- | --- | --- | | 1–3 days after the due date | Friendly | Make sure they have it. | | About 7–10 days later | Firm | Get a payment date. | | About 14 days after that | Final | Say what happens next. | This is a starting point, not a rule. Match it to your terms and your client. A long-term client with one slip deserves more patience than a new client who has gone quiet. ## What every reminder should include - The **invoice number**, the **amount** and the **due date**. - The invoice itself, attached again, so nobody has to search for it. - How to pay, in one line. - A clear question, such as “Could you let me know when this will be paid?” ## Template 1: the friendly nudge > **Subject:** Invoice INV-0042, due 12 December > > Hi Sam, > > A quick reminder that invoice INV-0042 for $1,000.00 was due on 12 December. I’ve attached it again in case it got buried. You can pay by bank transfer to the details on the invoice. > > Thanks so much, > Alex ## Template 2: the firm follow-up > **Subject:** Second reminder: invoice INV-0042 is overdue > > Hi Sam, > > I haven’t yet received payment for invoice INV-0042 ($1,000.00), which was due on 12 December. Could you let me know when it will be paid, or who I should contact about it? The invoice is attached. > > Thank you, > Alex ## Template 3: the final notice > **Subject:** Final notice: invoice INV-0042 > > Hi Sam, > > Invoice INV-0042 for $1,000.00 is now more than three weeks overdue. Please arrange payment by 9 January. As set out in my terms, a late fee applies to payments after that date. If something is holding this up, reply and let’s sort it out. > > Best, > Alex Only mention a late fee if it is in the terms you agreed. If a payment is seriously overdue, check your local rules before going further. ## Tips that help - **Find the right person.** Ask early who pays invoices, and copy them. - **Keep it short.** Three or four sentences get read; long emails get saved for later. - **Accept a part payment.** It is progress, and you can remind about the rest. - **Write it down.** Note when you sent each reminder and what they replied. ## The faster way: Invoicewell [Invoicewell](/invoicewell), a Mac app for invoices and quotes, keeps track of who has paid and helps with the rest: - **Up to three reminders** per invoice, each as a ready email with your own wording and the PDF attached. You read it and press Send. - **Late fees** from the level you choose, added to the reminder, never to the original invoice. - **Part payments** recorded against the invoice, so the next reminder asks for the right amount. - **Overdue at a glance**, with notifications and a count on the Dock icon. Invoicewell runs on macOS 14 or later and costs $19.99 once. ## FAQ ### How soon after the due date should I send a payment reminder? A day or two after is usual for a first, friendly reminder. Some people send a courtesy note a few days before the due date as well. ### How many payment reminders should I send? Three is a common plan: a friendly nudge, a firm follow-up about a week later, and a final notice. After that, a phone call often works better than another email. ### Is it rude to send a payment reminder? No. Reminders are a normal part of business, and most clients are glad of one. Keep it short, polite and specific, and attach the invoice. ### Can I add a late fee to an overdue invoice? Only if late fees were in the terms your client agreed to, and within your local rules. Invoicewell adds a late fee to the reminder rather than changing the original invoice. ### What should I write in the subject line of a payment reminder? The invoice number and the due date, such as “Invoice INV-0042, due 12 December”. It is easy to find and makes clear what you are asking about. --- URL: https://glowbugapps.com/about # About Glowbug · Native Mac Apps by Ayesha Gagan > Glowbug is a small studio run by Ayesha Gagan, making native, private, pay-once Mac apps: Shelfy, Chargeberry and Invoicewell.

Invoicewell asks before each assistant connects, and assistants are off until you turn them on. ## Payments Payments are handled by Gumroad, which receives what it needs to process your order and send your license key. Glowbug sees your email address and what you bought, so we can help with your license. ## This website This website has no analytics, no cookies and no trackers. It remembers your light or dark choice in your own browser, and nothing else. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes requests in order to deliver the pages. ## Questions Email [adgan.business@gmail.com](mailto:adgan.business@gmail.com). Last updated 12 November 2026
