Text, files, images, folders - all in a single drop zone you drag into and pull out of naturally. It's the landing spot for "the messy middle of Mac work." and it can still keep tracking your clipboard. When on a project, clear your slate, work through everything, and DropK will have all related copied files/text ready and neatly arranged. It doesn't duplicate your files, opening files, text, all happen through saved paths, not duplicates. That's a genuinely missing link from all apps out there.
When I first ventured into developing local AI chains I also had to pick up on my learning journey, then as everyone might have experienced in these recent years I was mesmerised by possibilities of what was possible and soon I realised this is not a blessing but a curse.
Why? Because when I hand off tasks to AI on one window, plan the next steps on notion, render content on another-- I found that I was not doing 3 jobs, I was doing 10 while handling those 3 jobs. I needed to read up on a pdf while working on a project? Find it in finder, but I also need the snippet of code I forgot but copying it would save me so much trouble. Wish I had a space where everything is accessible at once.
Then started my first major project. Finder and spotlight are good, but every project/workflow benefits from the visualisation of the projects essentials.
DropK was made with a vision to be private visual place for your recent project that holds both- Custom essentials deliberately put in, and then continues to hold every item you copied while working on that project be it a folder, file, image or text.
The design was a careful choice to maximise workflow and reduce complexity of an app that is meant to "support" while keeping all essential productivity focused features easily accessible.
