Solo maker builds Mac screenshot-and-file-share app by talking to Claude
Dropper is a that merges two repeated daily tasks into one: taking a screenshot and sharing a file. Users drag any file (or several at once) onto the app, and it uploads them to the user's own , then copies a shareable link to the clipboard. A built-in screenshot tool lets users capture part of the screen, draw an arrow on it, and get an instantly uploaded, ready-to-paste link.
The generated share pages adapt to file type: audio gets a SoundCloud-style waveform player, video gets a full player with a scrubber, markdown renders as a formatted document, and PDFs are embedded directly. Dropping five files at once bundles them into a single share page that can have more files added later without the link changing. Files go straight from the Mac to the user's own Cloudflare bucket with no account or required, keeping them private; the free tier offers 10GB of storage with free egress (Cloudflare does require a card on file to enable R2).
A setup wizard configures the Cloudflare side in about three minutes. The developer says the entire app was built by talking to Claude through a microphone for roughly a day, a practice often called .

- Files upload to the user's own bucket for privacy, with a free 10GB tier and free egress
- Share pages adapt per file type: waveform audio player, video scrubber, rendered markdown, embedded PDF
- Multiple files can be bundled into one page with a stable link, addable later
- Built in about a day via voice conversation with Claude, an approach known as
