Where drop fits
The vendor 'drop' tools are public-by-default. drop (the tool) adds passwords, zero-knowledge encryption, your domain, and a CLI/MCP for agents — and you can self-host it.
FAQ
Is it really open-source and self-hosted?
Yes — MIT licensed, and it runs on your own Vercel Blob + domain. No third party ever holds your content (it's encrypted client-side) or controls your URL.
Is it zero-knowledge?
Locked drops are AES-256 encrypted in the browser via StatiCrypt before upload. The server stores only ciphertext — never your content or password.
