Droplr API
Droplr has a legacy public REST API for drops, links, notes, and account data, documented on GitHub Pages. App keys are issued on request, not self-serve, and auth is a pre-OAuth HMAC scheme built on the user's hashed password. No webhooks, and the SDKs have sat unmaintained since 2019.
Frequently asked questions
Droplr scores A on Supergood's API Report Card. Droplr has a legacy public REST API for drops, links, notes, and account data, documented on GitHub Pages. App keys are issued on request, not self-serve, and auth is a pre-OAuth HMAC scheme built on the user's hashed password. No webhooks, and the SDKs have sat unmaintained since 2019.
Droplr has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Open API: self-serve, documented, with SDKs
Droplr is an all-in-one screen-capture and screen-recording platform that lets users instantly grab a screenshot (partial, full-screen, or full-page), record a screen video (with optional webcam, system + microphone audio, in HD/1080p/4K MP4 or GIF), or upload an arbitrary file and receive a cloud-hosted, shareable short link copied to the clipboard.
Vertical: misc / horizontal productivity & visual-communication tooling. Screenshot capture of part of screen, full screen, or entire scrolling webpage, with arrows/text/blur/redaction annotations and instant clipboard link.
Mid-tier within the screen-capture / visual-communication category. The category leader is Loom (Atlassian, ~25M users, $975M acquisition in 2023).
Droplr's data surface is narrow and non-transactional.
Founded 2011 in Bend, Oregon by Josh Bryant and Levi Nunnink. Acquired by JumpCloud in 2022 and now operated as a JumpCloud product line.
Authentication scheme requires the end user's SHA-1-hashed password rather than OAuth or a per-app token, which is incompatible with modern SSO/SAML/identity flows and is awkward for any third-party app that does not own the user's credentials. HMAC-SHA1 request signing with a 15-minute clock-skew window means clients must implement bespoke signing logic, there is no off-the-shelf middleware for popular HTTP clients.

Common alternatives include Loom (Atlassian), Zight (formerly CloudApp), Jumpshare, ScreenPal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic), Snagit / Camtasia (TechSmith), Vidyard. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Droplr MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Droplr doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
