Droplink on Mac
Native desktop builds for macOS — install once, run offline, no browser tab or subscription required.
Setup on Mac
Download the installer
Download the latest Droplink installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/droplink-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Droplink runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Droplink is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Droplink on Mac — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/droplink-mvp, always. $79 buys the packaged installer, guided deploy and lifetime updates instead of building it yourself.
Do I need a server?
For public share links, yes — a $5 VPS with the included Docker Compose setup does it, with Caddy or nginx in front for TLS. Desktop mode runs the identical app in an Electron window for local use. WeTransfer's zero-setup convenience is real; the trade is you rent it forever.
