Hover Tray by Aonau

Chrome disabled Image-Toolbar, the little hover bar that let you save a picture into the folder you already use — without right-click, Alt+click, or a “download everything on this page” popup. Bulk downloaders and gesture tools exist. This page asks one thing: do you still miss a tiny tray on the image itself, and is that worth building?

What we’re aiming for

Hover → a small tray on that image. One click saves it into a named subfolder of Chrome’s Downloads folder.
Extra tray buttons you can turn off: open the image in a tab; hide the tray for a moment. Optional minimum image size, so icons don’t sprout a bar.
Local only. Tight permissions (storage + downloads). No account, no cloud, no “download all” crawler.

How it compares (honest)

Tool	Fit	Common friction
Image-Toolbar (disabled)	Hover tray + per-folder save buttons	Gone from current Chrome
I'm a Gentleman	Alt+click or drag to save	No tray; default Downloads folder only
Cute Save Button	One hover button + custom locations	Closest today; not a multi-button tray (open-in-tab, several folders at once)
Bulk / page downloaders	Grab many images at once	Heavier workflow than “this one picture, that folder”
Hover Tray by Aonau (validating)	Tiny tray, folder buttons, local — if built	Doesn’t exist yet — we ask first

Kill criteria (we will stop)

If most people say Cute Save Button or I'm a Gentleman already does the job, or they mainly want a bulk downloader, this line stops. This page exists to find out — not to force a product.

60-second survey

What do you use to save images from web pages today? Does it still hurt? If a tiny local hover tray existed, what’s the one thing you’d want? Email if you’d try a local alpha (optional)

Submissions go to our scout inbox via FormSubmit (free). No account required on your side. The first submission needs one confirmation click in that inbox.

Founding supporter — $1

This is not the finished extension. Paying $1 reserves a first-release spot and tells us the missing tray is real enough to pay for. You immediately get a short supporter note. If we don’t ship a usable first version within 90 days, you get a full refund through Gumroad. Checkout is personal, via Gumroad (they handle sales tax) — not a company account yet.

Pay $1 to reserve a spot

Optional. The free survey above still helps if you’d rather not pay.
