Quartz Drop

Dropdown windows for any Mac app, on a hotkey.

Press a shortcut and Terminal (or Finder, Safari, Notes, anything you like) appears in its spot, say the left half of the screen, already focused. Press it again and it's gone. If the app isn't running, quartz-drop starts it first. Think of a Quake-style dropdown terminal, but for every app you use.

quartz-drop is the macOS version of plasma-drop for KDE Plasma, and reads the same config.

You need macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer. Builds are universal, so they run on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
