Hey Product Hunt, I’m Jordy, the maker of Droppy.
Droppy started as a simple place to park files around the MacBook notch. I kept adding the things I wanted close by while working: clipboard history, window controls, search, music controls and an easier way to share files. At some point, it stopped being a notch utility and became the Mac app I open for all those small jobs throughout the day.
You can still use Droppy from the notch, but it also lives in the menu bar, its own window or a floating shelf that works on any Mac. Its 24 Droplets are optional, so you can turn on the tools that fit your setup and leave everything else off.
I care a lot about how Droppy feels. It is native, quick to open and full of small interactions that make everyday tasks a little nicer. It runs on macOS 14 or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel.
There is a fully unlocked 3-day trial. After that, Droppy is $6.99 once for two devices, with lifetime updates.
A lot of Droppy has come directly from the people using it. Ideas and bug reports from Discord and The Trench often make their way into the app quickly. If you try it, tell me what works, what gets in the way and what you would like to see next.

honestly the floating shelf idea is pretty clever, I never knew how much I needed it until I tried dragging files onto it. also the notch integration feels native which is rare

@abdulkadir3vro Thank you. The floating shelf came from wanting Droppy to work just as well on Macs without a notch, so I’m really glad that part clicked. Keeping the notch interactions anchored to the hardware instead of feeling like a separate popover has taken a lot of iteration.

Finally a menu bar utility that doesn't feel like a resource hog, and the notch integration is genuinely useful for quick file drops. Surprised how snappy the search is even with everything enabled.

@asiyeggok Thank you. Keeping Droppy responsive while several Droplets are enabled has been a big focus, especially around clipboard previews, media, OCR and HUD updates. I’m glad the search is holding up in a full setup.

The notch area feels cramped on my 14-inch MBP when I try to use the file grid, so adding a small "+" button right there to quickly drop a new file or folder without dragging from Finder would be a really nice touch.

@brahimo9zc That makes sense, especially on a 14-inch screen where every bit of notch width matters. I like the idea of keeping it as a compact secondary action that opens the native file picker, so adding something does not require a Finder window first. I’m going to explore that.
