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<br>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<br>PDFs, screenshots, spreadsheets
Whatever lands on your Mac becomes Markdown — documents, images (OCR’d on-device), tables, and more.
No “Save As”<br>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<br>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<br>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.
