InTray Snip to tray. Drag anywhere.
Every screenshot and download you save disappears into a folder, and every photo you need is stuck on your phone. InTray catches all three in a floating strip above your taskbar, so you can drag them straight into Outlook, Teams, VS Code or a browser upload as real files.
How it works
Three steps. No hunting.
Snip, save or send
Take a screenshot with Win+Shift+S, download a file, or send one from your phone with Beam. InTray watches your Screenshots and Downloads folders and spots new files straight away.
It floats in the tray
A thumbnail appears in a slim tray above your taskbar - each with a badge showing where it came from. The tray auto-hides when you're done.
Drag it anywhere
Drag the thumbnail into any app as a real file drop - or single-click to copy it to the clipboard. Done. No File Explorer involved.
Features
Small app. Sharp edges filed off.
Everything below ships in InTray today - nothing here is roadmap.
Native drag-and-drop
Thumbnails drag as real OS-level files, so the receiving app gets a genuine file drop - not a clipboard paste that half your tools reject. Works with VS Code, Outlook, Teams, Slack and browser upload fields.
Three sources, one tray
Screenshots and Downloads are watched simultaneously, each with its own badge colour, and files sent from your phone land in the same strip. Installers, archives and in-progress downloads are filtered out automatically. Toggle either watcher from the tray icon.
Click to copy
Single-click copies images as image data and other files as real file objects - ready to paste wherever you are.
Stays out of your way
The tray appears when a file lands and auto-hides on your schedule - 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or never. It always shows without taking focus, so it can't swallow a keystroke while you're typing.
Theme-aware tray icon
Light or dark taskbar, InTray's icon matches - and swaps live when you change your Windows colour scheme.
Right-click for the rest
Open the file in its default app, copy its path, or reveal it in Explorer - the right-click menu covers the occasional cases without cluttering the everyday one.
Summon it from anywhere
Press Ctrl+Shift+Space to bring the tray up - or send it away - from inside any app, without reaching for the mouse. On by default; turn it off from the tray menu.
Pin the one you keep reaching for
Right-click a thumbnail to pin it. Pinned shots stay put while everything newer flows past, so the reference you keep coming back to is always one drag away.
Point it at your folders
Watch any folder you like, not just the defaults - repoint Screenshots or Downloads from the tray menu. Show 3, 4 or 5 thumbnails to taste. And if InTray is ever watching a different folder from where Windows saves screenshots, it tells you exactly where to point your capture tool.
Every monitor, one drag
Drag the tray to whichever screen you're working on - it moves freely across all of them and stays clear of the taskbar. Double-click the label to snap it home.
Private by architecture
InTray has no cloud sync, no account and no telemetry. Your screenshots never leave your machine - there is simply no code path for them to. Phone transfers stay on your own Wi-Fi. The only things InTray ever sends anywhere are a licence check to Lemon Squeezy, at most once every 7 days and never during the free trial, and an update check when you ask for one. Separately, Windows itself checks getintray.com for new versions, as it does for any app it installed.
Beam Included with InTray
Scan. Pick. Landed.
Beam is InTray's phone-to-PC transfer. It runs a private server on your PC that only your own network can see. Your phone needs nothing installed - its camera and browser already speak Beam's language.
Scan the QR code
Click the phone button on the InTray strip and a QR code appears. Point your phone camera at it - no app to download, no pairing ritual.
Pick your files
Your phone opens a simple upload page served by your own PC. Choose photos, documents, whatever you need to move.
They land in the Beam Inbox
Files arrive in the InTray strip beside your screenshots, ready to drag, and in a Beam Inbox folder on your PC. One click opens the Inbox.
Why local Wi-Fi
Your photos shouldn't commute via a data centre.
Traffic never leaves your network
Sending a photo to a PC one metre away shouldn't involve the internet. Beam's transfer happens entirely over your own Wi-Fi - nothing is uploaded to anyone's server, including ours.
Nothing to install on your phone
Beam works with the camera and browser your phone already has - iPhone or Android. No companion app, no account to create, no permissions to grant beyond picking the files.
Phone and PC need to be on the same Wi-Fi (or use Beam Direct, where your PC can host its own connection). Up to 10 files at a time, 1 GB each. The first time, Windows Firewall may ask for permission, which on a work PC means your IT team.
