Meiya
A little breathing room.
A file to take somewhere.
You’re halfway there.
So is your file.
You start dragging. The folder you need is three clicks away. Now it’s a shuffle of windows, a cancelled drag, and a small test of your memory.
Meiya gives you somewhere to put it.
That’s the whole idea.
THE USUAL WINDOW SHUFFLE
A LITTLE ROOM CHANGES THINGS
A very small learning curve.
You already know how to use it.

Drop.
Leave them on Meiya at the edge of your screen. They’ll wait.

Carry on.
Go to your destination. Drag your files back out. Right where you want them.
Feels like it’s
always been there.
Built specifically for your Mac.
For the way you already work.

A peek.
Without the detour.
Quick Look belongs here, too. Preview a staged file without opening another app or losing your place.
Familiar by design.
Native drag-and-drop. Your files, behaving like your files. Meiya fits right into the way Finder works.
Bring a few things.
A document, some references, that entire folder.
There’s room for more than one thought.
Your shelf can stay between launches.

One small thing.
A little better.
Finder is great. A little company makes it even better.
A place to leave something while you go somewhere.
Nothing more to manage. Nothing new to learn.
A small app.

Yours for good.

MeiyaFOR YOUR MAC
Freeto download
Mac App Store · Optional lifetime unlock
- Seven-day trial confirmed through Apple
- One-time unlock at Apple’s local price
- macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon
Available on the Mac App Store. The trial never renews or charges automatically.
Where can I get Meiya?
Download Meiya for free from the Mac App Store. The direct edition is a separate download; see the download page for its availability.
Is Meiya a subscription?
No. Both editions offer a 7-day trial with no automatic charge. The App Store edition is free to download, starts its trial after confirmation with Apple, and offers an optional one-time lifetime unlock at Apple’s local price. The separate direct edition starts its trial on first launch; its planned US$5.99 lifetime license covers two activated Macs.
How do I restore an App Store purchase?
Choose Restore Purchases in Settings → Purchase to restore eligible Apple purchases. Restoring a trial keeps its original start date; it does not restart the seven days. When a trial ends, held files remain retrievable, while adding new files requires the optional lifetime unlock.
How do I activate a direct purchase?
Lemon Squeezy provides your license code in the purchase receipt and My Orders. Open Meiya → License… in the Mac app and enter that code. You do not enter a license code on this website.
Can I move my direct license to another Mac?
Yes. Choose License… → Deactivate This Mac while online before activating another Mac. Uninstalling alone does not release a slot. Contact support for a lost Mac or an interrupted activation; do not repeatedly retry an activation that could not be confirmed.
Does Meiya upload my files?
No. Files and shelf references stay on your Mac. For direct-download licensing, Meiya sends the code and a random installation reference to Lemon Squeezy, which also receives ordinary connection information. It does not send filenames, paths or file contents for licensing.
Does Meiya copy or move my files?
Adding an item stores a reference to it. Removing a reference does not delete the original. Finder or the receiving app determines any copy or move when you drag it out. Meiya is not a backup service.
Which Macs are supported?
The App Store edition requires macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon. Requirements for the separate direct edition will be published with its verified download.
Where can I find a lost direct-license code?
Use Lemon Squeezy’s My Orders with the email used at checkout, or contact meiya@arrowplane.ca for help finding the receipt. App Store buyers use Apple’s purchase history and do not receive a Lemon Squeezy key.
Does Meiya work offline?
App Store lifetime ownership has no recurring Lemon Squeezy license check. A successful license check permits up to 30 days offline in the direct edition. Routine checks happen on launch or foreground use after 7 days, without a polling timer. If verification is needed, files already held remain retrievable; adding new files requires an active trial or valid license.
What if direct activation was interrupted?
Keep the random support reference shown in Meiya and contact support. Wait for the affected instance to be checked and reset before clearing the pending record and trying again. Your held files remain retrievable.
