Droplet for Droppy
Droplets
Focused tools that live in your Mac's notch.
Droplets are the optional tools inside Droppy. Turn on the ones that fit how you work, and leave the rest off.
Droplets
Add only what you will actually use.
Droplets are the optional tools inside Droppy. Each one does a single job, lives in your notch, and stays off until you decide it earns a place. They are free, and they install in one click.
A utility app turns into a junk drawer fast. One timer, one window tool, one converter, and suddenly nobody can describe what the app is for.
Droplets are how I keep that pressure out of Droppy's core. A droplet is a focused tool you switch on because it fits your Mac. The shelf, the basket, the clipboard and the media surface stay coherent, and everything extra arrives as a module you can leave off.
Switching one off removes more than a toggle. It leaves the widget picker, stops asking for attention, and never requests a permission for a workflow you do not use. That also makes setup reversible: a tool can be worth it for one season of work and pointless in the next.
The rule I use is simple. Turn on a droplet when you can name the interruption it removes, and leave it off when the description merely sounds interesting.
Two ways to install one
Both end in the same place: a verified bundle, installed in one click, living in your notch.
The usual way
From inside Droppy
Open Droppy, go to Settings, Droplets, and press Get on the one you want. Droppy downloads it, checks it, and installs it. Nothing else to configure.
Everything in the shop is listed there, and updates arrive the same way. A few of the tools on this page are built into Droppy already, so there is nothing to install for those.
If someone sent you one
Drag the file onto the notch
Drop a .droplet file on your notch and Droppy installs it there and then.
Droppy reads the signature first. Anything I signed installs quietly, anything from another developer names them and asks you first, and unsigned bundles are refused.
A few worth starting with
The ones people reach for first. Every screenshot below is the droplet actually running.
Every droplet
All of them are free, and all of them are optional.
Build your own with DroppyKit
Every droplet on this page is built against DroppyKit, the public SDK for the notch. It is open source under Apache 2.0, and the store is review-and-sign: people only ever install bundles Jordy signed.
Build in your own repo
GitHub, GitLab, anywhere. You keep ownership and you keep your history. Grab DroppyKit on GitLab and test in the dev harness, no Droppy needed.
Submit the source
Send the repository through the submission form. Jordy reads the source himself, so what ships is what was reviewed, and your code stays yours.
Signed and published
Approved droplets are signed with the Droppy Developer ID and published to the shop, where everyone finds them under Settings, Droplets.

The form takes a repository link and a few fields, and you can follow the review from the same page.
