Overview
People move temporary material between apps all day, a color, a line from a chat, a file needed in a minute. The clipboard holds only the last thing copied, and Notes or folders are meant for what you keep, not what you are still using. Tansei is a lightweight shelf for exactly that: it keeps recent, in-use items close until you no longer need them.
Made for designers, developers, researchers, writers, founders, and students. Work that moves between apps.

Tansei is a lightweight shelf for temporary things on Mac and Windows.

Tansei is a lightweight shelf for the temporary things you move between apps on Mac and Windows. Modern work means constantly switching between browsers, documents, AI tools, design apps, and terminals, carrying snippets of information along the way.

Everything you copy is automatically saved to your shelf, ready to preview, search, pin, organize, or drag back into any app. When you’re finished, archive or clear the items with a click. Tansei stores everything locally on your computer, works offline, requires no account, and is available as a simple one-time purchase.
