What problem is cc: solving?
Use cc: when preparing material for Codex or Claude Code, or when an agent returns a file path. Gather files and long notes on the shelf, ask the agent to read them, then ask it to leave the results there too.
Can I change the shortcuts?
Yes. Open Settings to record your own shortcuts for adding Finder selections and showing the shelf. The defaults are Option + Tab and Option + Shift + Tab.
What can I put on the shelf?
Files, folders, images, URLs, and text, including long notes. Add Finder selections with Option + Tab, or use Paste for text, then ask Codex or Claude Code to read the items you need.
How do I open or remove items?
Use Details to choose an item's available actions: open, copy, show in Finder, or remove. In Settings → Open Items, choose where text and code files, images and PDFs, folders, and web links open. You can also choose Finder for files and folders. These choices apply only in cc:; your macOS defaults stay unchanged.
Does cc: copy my files?
Yes. cc: keeps managed copies of files and folders in its local storage. Your source files stay in their original locations.
Does removing an item delete the original?
No. Removing something from the shelf does not remove the original file from its location.
What happens when I quit cc:?
Your shelf and its managed local copies are kept until you remove them. Your chosen shelf location is remembered too.
Does cc: upload anything?
The cc: app keeps shelf records and managed copies on your Mac. cc: itself does not upload your files or clipboard contents, sync the shelf, or collect usage data.
Does it work on a Mac without a notch?
Yes. The menu bar shelf is the default. Notch is an optional shelf location on supported Macs; other displays use the menu bar.
Can I use it on Intel Macs?
Yes. The current universal build supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 26 or later.
