Droppy also offers file conversion, coding-agent live activities and an MCP droplet. These features overlap with Syllo; compare the actual tools and supported agents you need rather than assuming they are exclusive.
Syllo workflows and tradeoffs
For a file you need in several apps, drag it onto Syllo's Shelf, pin it for the task, then drag it into the next app. Transform opens supported conversion and compression actions on your computer. The Shelf and Transform guides explain the available actions.
Droppy publishes file conversion, agents and MCP as well as a shelf and clipboard. The useful distinction is your supported platform, the exact integrations you need and the price model. Syllo covers Windows x64 and Apple Silicon with one account, used on one computer at a time; it is a subscription and does not provide Droppy's droplet ecosystem.

Which to choose
Droppy may suit you better if:
- You only use a Mac and want to pay once. Droppy is $9.99 for two Macs.
- You want its iPhone companion app.
- You have an Intel Mac.
Syllo may suit you better if:
- You also use a Windows PC.
- You want Transform to convert and compress files from the same drop.
- You want scrolling screenshots, Studio and coding-agent requests in the notch.
Switching to Syllo
- Quit Droppy first, so only one app uses the notch.
- Install Syllo from the Download page and sign in.
- Pick your tabs, Home tiles and drop tiles in Settings, and import your clipboard history in Settings → Clipboard.
Questions
Is there a Droppy for Windows?
Droppy's site lists it for the Mac only. Syllo gives Windows a notch with a file shelf, clipboard history and Now Playing, and runs on the Mac too.
