Droppy's first promise is that the top of your Mac should do something. Its second is that it should only do what you asked. Those pull in opposite directions, and droplets are how Droppy keeps both. Each one is a complete tool, a launcher, a screen recorder, a Pomodoro timer, that stays off until you switch it on in the Store. Off, it does not run, draw or ask for a permission.
There are 38 of them at the time of writing. That is a lot to scroll through in Settings, so here is every one, grouped by what it is for, with the ones I would switch on first.
The whole list, by category
The launcher, a radial menu, notes, tasks, focus, calls, a terminal and a teleprompter.
Music controls for every player, lyrics, and a volume slider for every app.
On-device background removal and transcription, and a live view of your coding agents.
Screenshots and recordings, text from anything on screen, and a camera mirror.
Share links, conversion, compression, Finder's right-click menu and local transfers.
Windows, notifications, sleep, the mouse, the keyboard, the menu bar and the lid.
Every droplet in Droppy's Store on September 27, 2026, grouped the way the Store groups them.
Productivity
Thunderstorm replaces Spotlight: apps, files, System Settings pages, a calculator with units and currencies, web search, and Droppy's own clipboard, shelf and droplets in one panel on Option-Space. It now runs Raycast extensions too. Ring opens a circle of buttons under your pointer while you hold a shortcut; move to one and let go. Fill it with a preset such as Element Capture's modes, or your own actions.
Notes is a notepad on the shelf that syncs with Apple Notes, and Obsidian opens your vault's Markdown files on the shelf, edited in either place. Calendar adds tasks in plain language, with lists and dates, synced with Apple Reminders, beside your events. Pomodoro is a focus timer with a single slider. Meetings mutes, stops the camera, shares or ends a call in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp or Telegram from the notch. Termi-Notch drops a terminal down from the notch. Weather shows conditions and the hours ahead on the shelf and lock screen. Alfred Workflow sends files to the shelf or Basket from Alfred.
Two come from the Store. Teleprompter scrolls your script on the shelf, right under the camera, so reading on a call looks like eye contact. DropClip puts a pill beside any text you select in any app, with copy, search, an AI rewrite with your own provider or one running on your Mac, and whatever actions you add.
Media
Apple Music adds that app's own controls to the media widget, shuffle, repeat and love, plus its Up Next queue and motion artwork. Spotify connects to your Spotify account for its playback controls and artwork. Kaset YouTube Music does the same for YouTube Music through the Kaset app. Lyrics shows timed lyrics beside the song and on the lock screen. Audio Control gives every app its own volume slider, so the music can be quiet while a video stays loud.
AI
All three keep your data on the Mac. AI Background Removal cuts subjects out of images with an on-device model after a one-time download. Voice Transcribe turns recordings into text on the device. Agents watches your local Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity and OpenCode sessions and shows their progress in the notch, with no network and no telemetry.
Capture
Element Capture captures a single UI element, an area, a window, the screen or a scrolling page, edits it with arrows, shapes, text and blur, and records the screen with a zoom that follows your pointer. I compared it with the best-known specialist in Droppy vs CleanShot X. OCR pulls text out of anything on screen, an image or a PDF, on the Mac. Camera adds a mirror of your front camera below the shelf, for a check before a call.
Files
Droppy Cloud turns a file into a share link in seconds; files are removed after three days. Converter changes videos to audio, PDFs to images and audio between formats, locally. Video Target Size compresses a video to an exact size for Discord or email, and PDF Compress shrinks PDFs while keeping the text selectable. Finder Services adds Droppy to Finder's right-click menu. LocalSend sends files to any phone, tablet or computer running the free LocalSend app, over your own network.
System
Window Snap snaps windows to halves, thirds and quarters with shortcuts or a drag. Notifications shows macOS notifications in the notch and lets you reply to iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram without opening them. High Alert keeps the Mac awake, indefinitely or on a timer. LiquidMouse smooths an external wheel mouse to feel closer to a trackpad. Mechey plays mechanical keyboard sounds as you type. Thaw installs and drives Toni Förster's menu bar manager. System Stats puts live CPU, memory, GPU, disk, battery or network cards on the shelf. Emoji Picker finds emoji from any app with a shortcut or a text trigger. And Mac Duo makes a MacBook's screen fold into the top of the display as the lid comes down.
Where to start
If you only switch on five, make them Thunderstorm, because you will use it a hundred times a day; Element Capture, because screenshots of one button are the most useful kind; Lyrics, because it costs nothing and makes the notch nicer to look at; Window Snap, because macOS still makes windows harder than it should; and OCR, because the day you need text out of a screenshot, you need it now. Everything else can wait until the day you need it. It is already there.
