Droppy turns the area around your Mac's notch into a Dynamic Island with live activities for music, meetings, uploads and volume. It adds a file tray where you can drop, zip and convert files, a clipboard history, a floating media player and 41 free extensions, and works on Macs without a notch too. It costs a one-time price and syncs with the free Droppy app for iPhone.
Mac users who want quick access to media, files and clipboard history from the top of the screen.
