Drop a file.
AI files it away.

Drag anything onto the Dock icon. DropItDown converts it, classifies it, moves it into your archive, and writes a Markdown note pointing back — so future-you can find it.

Free monthly quota · No account required · ~250 MB

How it works

Three steps, then the app quits. Until the next drop.

1

Drop

Drag a file from anywhere onto the DropItDown icon in your Dock. The app wakes only for this.

2

Read & classify

Azure Content Understanding extracts the text. A language model reads it, picks a category from your existing folder structure (or invents a new one).

3

File & note

The original moves to Archive/<category>/. A Markdown note is written alongside, with a link back to the original. Done — app exits.

Why it’s built this way

Use-once-and-die

No background process. No menu bar. No watchdog daemon. The .app wakes for a drop, processes, exits.

🦾

Native, not Electron

SwiftUI binary, Apple-signed and notarized, ~95 MB on disk plus an embedded Python pipeline for the heavy lifting.

📝

Markdown by default

Every archived file gets a paired .md note with YAML frontmatter linking back to the original. Search your archive with your favorite editor.

🧠

Learns from your fixes

Got a wrong archive? Tell it where it should have gone. The rule gets recorded so the same mistake doesn’t recur.

🏠

Files stay on your Mac

The archive lives in ~/Documents (or wherever you point it). Only a short content excerpt is sent for classification.

🔌

BYOK ready

The free tier uses a hosted DeepSeek proxy. Power users plug in their own OpenAI, Claude, or DeepSeek key.
