Drop a file.
Get Markdown your AI can read.

Drag any file onto the menu-bar icon. DropItDown converts it to clean Markdown locally, files it into your vault, and drops the note's path on your clipboard — paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent. Convert once; stop burning tokens on raw PDFs.

Local conversion · Your own AI key · No account, no server

How it works

Drag → Markdown → your agent. Three steps.

1

Drop

Drag a file from anywhere — a chat download, a screenshot, a PDF — onto the DropItDown icon in your menu bar.

2

Convert & file

It's converted to clean Markdown on your Mac. An AI model (your key) files it into the right folder in your vault and writes a one-line summary.

3

Hand it to your AI

The note's path lands on your clipboard. Paste it into Claude Code or Cursor — your agent reads clean Markdown, not a binary PDF. Later, it can grep the vault to find anything.

Why it’s built this way

Convert once, locally

Conversion runs on your Mac — no API call, no upload. Your agent reads clean text instead of chewing a binary PDF, for a fraction of the tokens.

🤖

Agent-ready

One click writes a CLAUDE.md into your vault so any agent opened there knows how to search it. Just open Markdown — zero lock-in.

📝

Markdown by default

Every file becomes a paired .md note with YAML frontmatter (one-line summary + link back). Search it in any editor, or point notes at your Obsidian vault.

Learns from your fixes

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

🏠

Files stay on your Mac

Originals and notes live in your own folders. Only a short text excerpt is sent for classification — to your provider, on your key.

🔌

Bring your own key

Classification runs on your own key — DeepSeek, OpenAI, Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No middleman, no account.
