Citrus converts files mid-drag, on your own computer. Press a key, a wheel opens around the file, let go on the format you need. Nothing is uploaded.
Pick a fruit, or press Shift Command Control on your keyboard.
Citrus waits in the menu bar or the system tray and only shows up when you are already dragging a file somewhere.
Pick up a file from Finder, Explorer, the desktop, a download bar, anywhere you can drag from.
Tap Shift Command or Control (Shift, Ctrl or Alt on Windows and Linux). A wheel of slices opens around the pointer and stays open after you let go of the key.
Let go on a slice. A new copy lands next to the original, or in a folder you pick in Settings. A long job can be cancelled from its toast.
On a Mac, select files in Finder and press the hotkey. The same wheel opens without a drag. Change the key or switch it off in Settings › Keys.

Tap Shift mid-drag for a new format. The wheel only shows what makes sense for the file in your hand: a photo gets image formats, a PDF gets documents.

The helpers are ffmpeg, pandoc and unar. Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Office or LibreOffice open the files their formats need (LibreOffice on Windows and Linux); on a Mac, Citrus drives them over Apple events and macOS asks once. PPTX has its own renderer, so it works without any app. The original is never modified.
Tap Command mid-drag and the wheel fills with small edits for the file in your hand. Each one writes a new file beside it with a plain suffix; the original stays as it was.
Tap Control mid-drag to do something with the file itself instead of making a new one.
AirDrop, send with LocalSend, Float on a shelf, Copy, Move, Copy Path, open in Terminal, Reveal in Finder, Trash.
The Actions wheel has an AirDrop slice. Drop a file on it and macOS opens its own AirDrop window with the file already in it.
Not Apple? LocalSend.For Android, Windows and Linux, the LocalSend slice sends to anything running LocalSend.
LocalSend is free software by the LocalSend contributors, Apache-2.0. Logo from github.com/localsend/localsend. AirDrop is a trademark of Apple Inc. Citrus is not affiliated with LocalSend.
The Mac app is native Swift. Windows and Linux get a separate port in Rust. Both read one shared catalog of slices and answer the same command line, checked by one conformance suite.

The original, built on Apple’s own frameworks.
Powered byRustOne port for Windows and Linux
An early port, built from the same catalog of slices.
The same port, with one difference on Wayland.
Every conversion runs on the machine the file is already on, and the copy lands in the same folder. Drop any file on the folder to see where.

0 bytes of it sent anywhere. This page reads a dropped file’s name and size, and nothing else.
An MIT-licensed alternative to Tangerine: the same idea of radial menus around a file while you drag, with its own look and an open implementation. Each tagged version will be built into a Mac app and Windows and Linux archives.
A Mac app that lives in the menu bar and opens at login, which you can turn off.
A plain archive, without helpers bundled. Lives in the system tray.
