A year ago my Mac workflow was a pile of little tools: a clipboard manager, a drag-and-drop shelf, a window snapper, a screenshot tool, a pomodoro timer, a converter that uploaded my files to someone else's cloud, and a menu bar app to manage the other menu bar apps. Each one fine on its own, together a mess of subscriptions and settings.

So I built Droppy. It lives at the top of your screen, around the notch if you have one, as a Dynamic Island style pill if you don't, and puts everything one hover away:

\- File shelf: drag anything up and it holds your files until you drop them where they belong. Jiggle a drag and a basket flies in to catch it.  
\- Clipboard manager: every copy kept and searchable, ready to paste again.  
\- A fully free cloud sharing service; Droppy Cloud. With a full online environment to view/download and share files.  
\- Notifications with inline reply for iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram, right in the notch.  
\- Full media controls with the Playing Next queue, AirPlay picker and live lyrics.  
\- A revamped lock screen: album art, widgets, and brightness and volume sliders before you even log in.  
\- 27 free add-ons (Droplets) you toggle per workflow: window snapping, screenshots with OCR, pomodoro, a calendar with natural language input, LocalSend to move files to any phone or PC on your network, on-device file conversion, meeting controls for Zoom, Teams and Meet, Obsidian, Spotify, a terminal, and more. Off means off, they only run when you enable them.

The video shows it better than I can write it.

Also **SUPER** cool: an iOS app is coming, it's been built and published to TestFlight at this very moment. It syncs everything Droppy does with your iPhone (files, clipboard history, Droppy Cloud etc.)

**Honest notes:**  
\- Native Swift, signed and notarized, no Electron. Local-first: your clipboard and files never leave your Mac unless you explicitly share them.  
\- macOS 14+, Apple Silicon and Intel, works on every display. The notch is genuinely optional.  
\- Pricing: 3-day free trial, then $9.99 one time for 2 Macs. No subscription, ever.  
\- There's a lot to uncover, but you can keep it as minimalistic as you want.

I ship updates almost every week and the last few features came straight from user feedback, so if you try it and something annoys you, tell me here.

macOS never shipped a real productivity hub. So I built one. Meet Droppy.
