What is dropmind?
A self-hosted capture inbox for instantly saving links, notes, screenshots, and files from any device. It offers a minimal message-style UI with multi-clipboard organization, global search, light/dark themes, and a progressive web app for mobile and desktop. Content can be sent via iOS Shortcuts, Android's share sheet, or a browser bookmarklet. The stack uses FastAPI with SQLite and runs as two Docker containers (backend on 8000, frontend on 8080). Licensed under AGPL-3.0.
