Files Shelf
Batch move, copy, or rename files and folders from different directories.
A Raycast extension that lets you collect files and folders from anywhere on your Mac into a virtual "shelf," then run batch actions: copy all to a folder, move all, or rename with prefix, suffix, numbering, or find/replace. Handles conflicts and works across volumes.
Commands
| Icon | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Add to Shelf | Add the current Finder selection to the shelf. Run from Finder with items selected; duplicates by path are skipped. |
 | View Shelf | Browse shelf items (grouped by folder), search, see stats, and run item actions: Show in Finder, Open With, Copy Path, Remove. Shelf actions: Copy All, Move All, Rename All, Clear Shelf. |
 | Copy Shelf to Folder | Copy every shelf item to the open or selected Finder folder. Choose how to handle conflicts: Skip, Replace, or Auto-Rename. |
 | Move Shelf to Folder | Move every shelf item to the open or selected Finder folder. Same conflict options; supports cross-volume moves (copy + delete when needed). |
 | Rename Shelf Items | Batch rename shelf items with live preview. Modes: Prefix, Suffix, Numbering (e.g. 001.jpg, 002.jpg), or Find/Replace. |
Requirements
- macOS (Raycast with Finder integration)
- Select files/folders in Finder, or have a Finder window open, when using Add to Shelf or Copy/Move to Folder
Preference
- Keep Shelf After Completion — When off (default), the shelf is cleared after a successful copy, move, or rename. When on, items stay on the shelf.
