Dropzone vs GiMeSpace QuickMenu

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.

GiMeSpace QuickMenu is a Windows task launcher and switcher that appears at the mouse cursor when you press an assigned mouse or keyboard key. Its upper section lists running tasks, with the most recently used first; its lower section holds programs, files, and shortcuts that you can reorder or remove. You can choose a hotkey, enable click activation, and adjust the number of icon columns. When the cursor is away from the screen edge, QuickMenu can place the previously used task under the cursor to help switch back. The maker says it is designed for Windows XP and later and does not restore the Windows Start menu. It identifies tasks by their icons rather than preview windows. Adding store apps and their icons can be difficult; the maker suggests creating a shortcut first and adding that. Version 2.1.1 comes in high- and low-resolution display versions, with Unicode support listed for the high-resolution version only. The product page lists a free program and a 30-day trial, with pricing from 23 AUD.
