The top shelf opens from the menu bar icon. The side shelf opens when you rest the pointer at the screen edge.

General: how the shelf closes

These settings decide when the shelf closes or stays out of the way:

  • Collapse after pointer leaves
  • Close with Escape
  • Close on outside click
  • Hide in full screen
  • Reduce auto-expansion while working, which keeps the shelf from expanding for new documents while Codex, Claude or Cursor is in front. It's on by default.

Notifications & sounds

Everything here is off until you turn it on.

  • Expand for new documents opens the shelf when a document arrives. When it's off, a small cue appears instead and the shelf opens on hover.
  • Show in Notification Center sends new documents and the session alerts you choose to macOS Notification Center. macOS asks for permission the first time.
  • Session completion alerts tell you when an agent session finishes. Notify about document updates tells you when a document you already have changes.
  • Remind me about documents to review reminds you about unread documents at the interval you pick, from 1 minute to 1 hour.

Uninstall

Dragging Docnest to the Trash leaves its hooks and data behind, because macOS doesn't tell the app it's being removed. Use Settings → About → Uninstall Docnest Completely… instead. It removes what Docnest added to your AI tools, the login item, the data folder and caches, then moves the app to the Trash. Nothing is permanently deleted, so you can still restore items from the Trash.
