Stash is a lightweight file shelf for Windows that lets you temporarily park files without cluttering your desktop. Instead of moving files between folders or leaving them on your desktop, simply drag them into Stash and bring them back whenever you need them. Stash stores file references—not copies—so your files stay exactly where they are. Designed to feel native on Windows 11 and stay out of your way until you need it.

Hi everyone! 👋 I built Stash because I kept using my desktop as a temporary place for files while working. Every day I was dragging files between folders, leaving them on the desktop "just for a minute", and then cleaning everything up later. I wanted something that worked like a temporary shelf instead of another file manager. Stash doesn't move your files—it only keeps references, so everything stays in its original location while remaining easy to access. This is the first public release and I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature requests, or criticism. Thanks for checking it out!

If Windows had one missing file management feature, what would it be?

I built Stash because I kept wasting time moving files between folders or leaving them on my desktop "just for now."

Stash works like a temporary shelf for Windows. You can quickly stash files without changing where they actually live, then bring them back whenever you need them.

I'm curious:

How do you temporarily organize files while you're working?
Do you use the desktop, Downloads folder, or another workflow?
What's the biggest frustration you have with Windows File Explorer?
