This is the largest Droppy update so far, and the first public build of the v15 line. Everything since 14.2 arrives at once: a new droplet, dictation in any app, ten more languages, and a long run of work on how little power Droppy uses in the background.
Droplets of their own
System Stats is new, with live CPU, RAM, GPU, disk, battery, and network cards in the shelf. OCR and Weather were already here, and both now stand as proper droplets with their own settings page and switch.
OCR keeps a local history you can search, and the clipboard learned to look inside pictures, so a screenshot is findable by the words in it.
Talking, and finding things
One shortcut opens a small glass popover at your caret in any app, and Return inserts what you said. It learns the terms you use and ducks whatever is playing while you speak.
Droppy also speaks Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and both Chinese scripts, chosen in Settings, General and still marked alpha. A search field finds any row.
Around those sit dozens of smaller additions: extra Mac seats on an existing key, a glass clarity slider, Pomodoro presets, a rebuilt Store, and a lock screen timer card.
The fixes that mattered most
The worst one: a store Droppy could not read was replaced by an empty one on the next save, taking your tasks, notes, tags, and share history with it. That class of bug is gone.
Licensing also stopped misreading a slow Keychain, which had let a properly licensed Mac look unlicensed and register itself again as a second device.
Notifications, and the long tail
Notify Me stopped getting worse whenever the WhatsApp or Telegram Mac app happened to be open, which had been costing you the sender's picture and the reply box. Updating no longer switches Hide physical notch off behind your back.
Behind those sit hundreds of smaller fixes across the notch, the shelf, media, Settings, and rare macOS 27 crashes.
Quieter, and quicker
Most of the power work was the same shape repeated: Droppy was redoing work when nothing had changed. Sleeping displays, idle droplets, and background polls stopped costing you battery.
Thunderstorm now answers from an index it keeps between launches instead of rescanning your Mac, forgives small typos, and lifts the files you open most.
How it looks and moves
Settings wears Liquid Glass again, with page headers that morph between them, a flatter sidebar carrying droplets under the main tabs, and a window you can drag wider from any edge.
Shelf, widget, and Live Activity motion was reworked throughout, including hovering two stacked activities apart and merging them into a single island. A few hundred other details got the same attention.
