BIG NEWS!

Since 4.9.3 - Droppy enables native integration with Alfred. Select files in your finder, invoke Alfred, and send them directly to Droppy with a single keystroke.

Finally, a clipboard manager that doesn't feel cluttered. The 'Notch Shelf' concept is a very clever use of screen real estate. Is there a shortcut to toggle the shelf visibility, or does it only appear when dragging a file?

🎉 Droppy 4.8 is here! Massive update with Battery HUD, Native Updater, RAM/CPU optimizations & more!

Hi again! It's been an incredible sprint of updates since 4.6 and I wanted to share everything that's new. This is probably the biggest quality-of-life update yet!

⚡ NEW: Battery Charging HUD

When you plug in or unplug your charger, Droppy now shows a beautiful battery indicator right in the notch!

• Green pulsing glow when charging

• Orange warning for low battery

• Seamlessly integrates with the existing volume/brightness HUDs

(Battery HUD follows the same design as volume/brightness)

🎨 Native DroppyUpdater

No more ugly Terminal windows! Updates now show in a beautiful native macOS window:

• Animated progress with checkmarks for each step

• Confetti celebration when update completes 🎊

• Green "Launch Droppy" button when ready

• Falls back gracefully if anything goes wrong

🚀 Massive Performance Improvements

RAM Usage (Down 80%+!)

• Images now stored on disk instead of in memory

• Lazy loading - only loads what you see

• Thumbnail caching with LRU eviction

• Went from 2.9GB with large clipboard to ~400MB

CPU Usage

• Removed expensive hover animations that caused layout recalculations

• Async thumbnail loading prevents main thread blocking

• Optimized scrolling in clipboard manager

• Canvas-based confetti (60fps, no lag)

🎵 Polished Media Player

The expanded media player got serious attention:

• Pixel-perfect padding - Album art, timestamps, and controls now align consistently on all edges

• Smooth transitions - Symmetric animations when switching between media player and drop zone

• Slider interactions - Track expands and glows when dragging

🔧 Other Improvements

• macOS 14 compatibility - Graceful degradation for older systems

• Fixed Brightness HUD false triggers - No more random HUD popups when plugging in power

• Swift 6 compatibility - Cleaned up async/await warnings

• Consistent transitions - All view switches now animate the same way

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Auto-update quarantine issues completely resolved

• "Cleaning up" spinner no longer stays visible after update

• Volume/Brightness HUD sizing issues fixed

• Call HUD for FaceTime/Zoom calls improved
