- Saved drops use folders containing drop.json, content.md, and note.md, readable in an ordinary editor.
Field notes
A saved drop is a folder with drop.json, content.md, and note.md, so the material can be read or backed up without a special database. For selected-text capture, the page says Plopcut reads the selection directly when possible; if that fails, it uses ⌘C and restores the clipboard afterward. Chrome URL capture needs a separate Automation permission, but the page says capture remains available without it.
