DropItDown – Drop a file, get Markdown your AI agent can read (macOS)

DropItDown — Drop a file. Get Markdown your AI can read.

See it work

Drag → clean Markdown → filed in your vault → handed to your agent.

Drop it

A file → Markdown your agent can read

Drag any file onto the menu-bar icon. It’s converted to clean Markdown on your Mac — paste the note’s path into your AI agent and it reads text, not a binary PDF.

Any file

PDFs, screenshots, spreadsheets

Whatever lands on your Mac becomes Markdown — documents, images (OCR’d on-device), tables, and more.

No “Save As”

Straight from email or chat

Drag an attachment right out of Mail, Outlook, or a chat app onto the icon — no saving it to disk first.

Auto-sorted

Filed into clean folders for you

Each note drops into the right folder in your vault with a one-line summary — the sorting runs on your own key.

Agent memory

Your vault becomes your agent’s knowledge base

Open the vault in any agent and it searches across every note — the one-line summaries are the index — to answer from your own files.

Why it’s built this way

⚡

Convert once, locally

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

🤖

Agent-ready, zero lock-in

One click writes a CLAUDE.md so any agent can search your vault. It’s just Markdown — open it in Obsidian, or nothing.

🔌
