About
Dropover gives drag and drop somewhere to pause. Shake the cursor, press the shortcut or bump the edge of a window and a shelf appears; drop files, images, links or text onto it, carry on working, then drop everything from the shelf into the destination in one go. A shelf can be reopened later, stacked with others, given several slots and kept above other windows, and its context menu handles the small jobs — resize or convert an image, compress it, strip metadata, pull the text out of a picture, build a PDF or a ZIP — without opening another app. It is a free download with a 14-day trial, after which the only change is a short wait before each drop, and one purchase removes it. It needs macOS 13 or later.
