The app is currently being tested internally and by early testers.

• Select text and save it as a file

• Hold Alt to select multiple images and upload them in batch

• Get instant notifications after each save

How it works
Right-click on any content and choose “Save to Drime”.
All files are automatically organized in your dedicated Drime Save folder, accessible from any device.

Available now:

Ongoing improvements

Beyond visible features, we’ve continued working on the backend, especially to prepare for the desktop release.

We’re also continuing improvements across all platforms, including Rclone integration.

A note from the team

Thank you for all your feedback and support since the last update.

We’ve seen a huge improvement in stability and performance, and we’ll keep pushing in that direction.

We’re not slowing down and May is going to be another big month for Drime.

More updates, more improvements, and the new desktop app is getting very close.
