A lightweight, native Windows CLI drag-and-drop utility (dragon / blobdrop alternative for Windows).

  • Floating Acrylic Drag Card: Sleek, dark acrylic card for direct physical mouse drag-and-drop into Discord, Chrome, VS Code, File Explorer, Slack, etc.
  • Multi-Widget Staging: Spawning multiple instances automatically cascades cards (+30px offset) across your desktop.
  • 5 Shell Formats: Full format negotiation (CF_HDROP, CFSTR_PREFERREDDROPEFFECT, CF_UNICODETEXT, CF_TEXT, CFSTR_SHELLURL).
  • High-DPI Aware: Native Per-Monitor V2 DPI scaling.
  • Shell Thumbnail Preview: Live translucent shell drag preview via IDragSourceHelper2.
