Docks to the right. Stays out of the way. Always within reach.
The idea
FileHolster is a slim desktop panel that stays docked to the side of your screen. Link real folders, then save screenshots, files, notes, and commands to them instantly - without opening a single dialog box, file explorer, or text editor. It was built for people who move fast and hate interruptions.
Core features
Link any folder on your machine. Take a screenshot, click the folder, press Ctrl+V, name it, hit Enter. The file is saved to that exact folder in under 3 seconds. No "Save As" dialog. No browsing. No thinking.
A persistent notepad with multiple tabs that autosaves as you type. Jot down API keys, passwords, config snippets, meeting notes - anything. When you're ready, save it directly to a linked folder as .txt, .json, or .md with one click. No notepad. No VS Code. No file menu.
Run quick commands without leaving the panel. Multiple terminal tabs, persistent history. Ideal for git status, npm run build, or any one-liner you reach for ten times a day.
A dead-simple checklist pinned to the top of the panel. Add tasks, check them off, reorder them. No boards, no labels, no project management overhead. Just a list of what you need to do right now.
Why it's fast
Compare that to: screenshot → open file explorer → navigate to folder → right-click → paste → rename → confirm. FileHolster eliminates every step that doesn't matter.
Who it's for
Store API keys, environment variables, and config snippets in the scratchpad. Save screenshots of bugs, UI states, or terminal output to project folders. Run quick terminal commands without switching windows. One panel replaces three apps.
Save reference images, client assets, and screenshots directly to organized project folders. No more dumping everything to the desktop. The scratchpad holds hex codes, font names, and revision notes so you don't lose context mid-project.
If you've ever taken a screenshot and then spent 30 seconds figuring out where it went, FileHolster is for you. It turns "capture → find → move → rename" into "capture → paste → done."
Everything runs locally. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your API keys, passwords, and notes never leave your machine. The app is a single binary - uninstall it and it's gone.
$15 one-time. Offline. ~5MB. Just a fast, dark panel that docks to the side and stays out of your way until you need it.
