![]() ![]() Like all the best apps and platforms, adding a custom domain is painless with iwantmyname. So instead of sending emails or messages with links to shady files, we can send out links like ./XXXXXXX. But then it takes the next step and allows you to send links with your very own custom short domain. So first, Droplr allows you to password protect your links and create self-destructing drops. When you’re sending files around, especially to clients, it’s important to establish a level of trust. But with Droplr, just select a file (up to 2GB) and hit option-D to copy it to your clipboard to send out (it’s great for sending private dog photos).Īll your files are attached to a custom domain: To me, this is an invaluable feature. It makes file sharing simple: For all the efficiency advancements computers have made in the last decade, sending basic files still seems a bit slow. Just drag open a window to record in, do what you need to do, stop the recording, then send the auto-generated link ( like this one). So if you want to to show someone how to do a Photoshop effect or just where a basic option is hidden, Droplr screen recordings are definitely the answer. Then, once your screenshot is taken, it’s automatically attached to a link in your clipboard, meaning you’re only a cmd-V away from sending your file to a friend or co-worker.Īnd screencasts!: It’s one thing to tell someone how to do something, but showing them is almost always a better solution. ![]() And once the shot is taken, there aren’t any quick features for highlighting segments or leaving notes-you have to open files in other apps to do anything with them.Ĭompletely replacing Grab on my computer is Droplr, which allows me to take regular screenshots, URL-as-photo screenshots (full-page shots) and “Capture and draw” screenshots, giving me some basic tools for circling key points and adding text. For one, the default filetype used by Grab is TIFF, which almost always needs to be exported to. It takes, and lets you share, screenshots: This may be a non-issue on the PC, but in OSX, the default screenshot app, Grab, really isn’t all that useful. It doesn’t do a whole lot, but what it does, it does quite well. Quietly resting on my desktop nav, next to the icons for Twitter, Dropbox, OnePassword, Wifi and Finder, is the stylized Droplr drop-arguably one of the most useful apps on my computer.
