Dropzone vs foot

Dropzone is a macOS app for drag-and-drop workflows, file transfers, application launches, and service integrations. Built-in actions rename, move, and copy files, share through AirDrop, and launch apps. Other actions resize or compress images, download videos, and shorten URLs. Drop Bar temporarily holds files for later dragging to applications or Dropzone actions. Dropzone 5 supports multiple grids, with controls for columns, size, and action arrangement. Its dz command-line tool can run actions, add files to Drop Bar, and switch grids. Users can install add-on actions or create their own in Ruby or Python. Listed service actions include SFTP, Amazon S3, and Imgur; SFTP and Amazon S3 uploads are Pro features. The Free plan includes a customizable app, folder, and action grid, multiple grids, and Drop Bar. Dropzone 5 Pro costs $1.99 a month after a 14-day free trial, or 35.00 USD once for a lifetime license. The app requires macOS 13 or later and supports Tahoe.

foot is a free Linux terminal emulator for Wayland, with native Wayland support and no dependence on a particular desktop environment. Its server mode lets multiple terminal windows share one process, fonts, and glyph cache. Display features include configurable font fallback, on-the-fly font and DPI adjustment, color emoji, true color, and Sixel images. Users can search scrollback and detect URLs with the keyboard. The feature list also includes SSH support, scripting, text input through text-input-v3, and multi-seat support. Shell integration can open new terminals in the current working directory when the shell supports OSC 7; OSC 133 enables prompt navigation. URLs open with xdg-open by default, and the command can be changed in configuration. Configuration uses a foot.ini file in the user's XDG configuration directory. Installation guidance describes building with Meson and Ninja, with Wayland protocols and ncurses among the requirements. The project says foot is MIT-licensed. Its installation guide notes that full PGO builds using the real binary must run in a Wayland session.
