Everything you check all day, one hover away.
Thirteen tabs, and you choose which ones show. Open MacDrop from the top of your screen, with ⌃⌥M, or from the menu bar.
Home
The things you reach for all day, in one glance.

- Up to 8 pinned files, apps or links, and your git projects with their branch and changes
AI Usage
How much of your AI plans you have left, before you run out.
- Limits, pace and cost for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Ollama and OpenRouter
- Uses each tool's own sign-in, with nothing to set up
Clipboard
Everything you copied, and every screenshot you took.
- Text and images, the last day under Recent and what you keep under Saved
- New screenshots appear as you take them

Off until you turn it on. What password managers mark private is never kept.

Ask MacDrop
A chat with Apple Intelligence that never leaves your Mac.

- Artwork, progress, play, pause, next and previous

- Read-only keys
Keys stay on your Mac and are only ever sent to the store they belong to.
Camera
A mirror before the call starts.

It never records or saves anything.
The things you reach for all day, in one glance.
- The time, a greeting and live network speeds
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Dark Mode switches, volume and the output device
- Up to 8 pinned files, apps or links, and your git projects with their branch and changes
Keep Awake
Close the lid. The work keeps going.
Leave Claude Code, Cursor, a build or a big download running and step away. MacDrop keeps your Mac awake for as long as you choose, then lets it sleep again.
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- Builds
- Big downloads
Keep Awake
For 30 minutes to 8 hours, or until you stop it. The display can still turn off; nothing to set up.
Closed-Lid Mode
Close the lid and walk away while a build, a download or an AI agent keeps running. A one-time setup you approve in System Settings.
Stops before the battery does
On battery, a session ends at your cutoff (20% unless you change it), and MacDrop asks first before a long one.
Stops if it gets too hot
A session ends on its own if your Mac reaches a critical temperature.
Sleep always comes back
When the session ends, MacDrop turns normal sleep back on, even if MacDrop quits or crashes, and never changes a setting you made yourself.
System Explorer
Know what your Mac is doing, and why.
A full window for when the panel isn’t enough: every reading, every app, and what changed over time. Open it from System Metrics, or with its own shortcut.
Everything, then the detail
Overview shows CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, battery and sensors at a glance. Click a card for the whole section.
Who is causing it
Every app and process with its CPU, memory, disk and network, searchable, with a quit button when you need one.
Made for developers
Ports, dev servers and coding agents in one list, with what each one started, and Docker containers while an engine runs.
What happened earlier
History over hours and days, peaks and alerts when something runs hot. Export any of it as CSV or an image.
Always in view
Up to 8 live readouts in the menu bar, and a compact System Metrics tab in the panel.
Price
$10, once. Yours to keep.

macOS says “Mac Drop” Not Opened?
MacDrop isn’t notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it the first time you open it. You do this once: updates install without asking again.

Good questions.
Something else? Email us.
Which Macs does it work on?
Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. On a MacBook with a notch it opens from the notch, around the camera at the top of the screen; on other Macs and external displays it sits as a small pill in the middle of the menu bar. Ask MacDrop needs macOS 26 on a Mac with Apple Intelligence; everything else works without it.
How many Macs can I use it on?
One license is for one Mac. Replacing your Mac? Email us from the address you bought with and we'll move the license to the new one.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and the license doesn't expire. Nothing renews.
How do updates work?
MacDrop checks for updates once a day and tells you when there is one, with what changed. Every update is signed, and it installs only when you say so. You can also check from Settings → General.
Does it need the internet?
Once, to activate. After that MacDrop checks its license on your Mac and works offline, with no account and no sign-in each time you open it.
What does MacDrop send, and where?
No analytics and no tracking. MacDrop contacts YoIndie only to activate, to check for updates and to send feedback you write. Ask MacDrop uses Apple's on-device model, so what you type stays on your Mac, and keys you add for Sales or OpenRouter are sent only to the service they belong to.
Does MacDrop read my clipboard all the time?
Only once you turn Clipboard on. Then it keeps what you copy on your Mac, and never keeps what password managers mark as private.
Can my AI coding assistant use it?
If you turn it on. A built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor read your Mac's state. It's off until you turn it on, and quitting an app always asks you first.
