A model, only if you want it.
AI lyrics is off by default. Download the local model only when you choose. After setup, translation runs on your device with available lyrics. Fetching lyrics and downloading the model still need a connection.

Turn the glow off, show it during AI work, or let it breathe with music. Soft orange, pink and blue light drifts beyond the Island while its shape stays still.
First-time translation can take several minutes. Language coverage and quality depend on the model, lyric source and song. AI can change meaning or omit details; the original lyrics stay available.

12 / KNOWN LIMITATIONS
Know before you install.
Unsigned packages may trigger a SmartScreen warning. Windows Drop Tray can use the same top-edge gesture; Windows sharing integration requires a trusted package identity.
13 / VERIFY YOUR DOWNLOAD
Check the file you received.
Download only from the official GitHub Release. Compare the file's SHA-256 with SHA256SUMS.txt; a matching hash proves file integrity, but not publisher identity.
Verification guideClarify 68 labels and messages with 405 wording updates across the ten interface languages, covering settings, sharing, downloads, music and removal warnings.Remove 10 unused messages left over from older screens.Show the correct removal warning for files stored by DropSpace. External file references retain the warning that the original file will remain untouched.Apply the same settings migrations before loading, updating or resetting UI preferences. Preserve legacy update-channel choices and avoid rewriting unchanged settings on each load.Preserve the expected folder type while its source is missing, allowing the reference to recover when the folder returns.Check the expected file/folder type when reusing remote availability results and enforce the metadata cache limit across concurrent completions.

16 / FAQ
Good to know.
What is DropSpace?
A local-first Windows workspace for temporarily holding file references and recent clipboard content, with a main window and a top-center Dynamic Island.
Does DropSpace move my files?
No. Temporary Space stores references. Adding or removing a reference does not move, copy, or delete the original file.
Can I add folders?
Yes. DropSpace can hold file and folder references through drag and drop or its picker.
What is Clipboard History?
A local history of captured text, URLs, images, files, and folders. You can search, pin, pause, clear, and apply retention limits.
What's the difference between Installer and Portable?
The recommended per-user Installer adds Start Menu integration, an uninstaller, and in-place update support. Portable runs directly without installation; updates are notify/download-only.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Stable v1.0.0: 64-bit Windows · See release notes for system requirements
Current Beta: 64-bit Windows build 20348 or later
What about the Windows 11 Drop Tray?
Windows may own the same top-edge drag gesture. DropSpace Settings links to the official Multitasking page; direct drops onto visible Compact and Expanded surfaces remain supported.
Does DropSpace upload clipboard content?
Clipboard history is stored locally. Update checks use public release metadata and official download endpoints. Sharing uses the connections you explicitly enable.
How do updates work?
Stable receives Stable releases. Beta can receive Stable and Beta releases. DropSpace verifies download size and SHA-256. Installation options depend on the package; release notes explain any manual upgrade steps.
