jalco-drop turns a file, a folder, a paste or a screen recording into a link worth sending. It runs on one Cloudflare Worker and an R2 bucket, or as one Docker container on any server, and everything about it is yours: the domain, the name, the accent colour, the code theme.

- **Code and text** open highlighted, with line links like `#L12`.
- **Markdown** renders as a document. **HTML** runs in a sandbox. **CSV** becomes a table.
- **Images, video, audio and PDFs** play or preview in the page.
- **Folders and zips** open as a "sent you" page with a file tree and a preview drawer.
- **[Scrawl](https://scrawl.kitlangton.com) captures** open as a video page with the transcript and each marked moment.
- **Link previews** get a real card in Slack, iMessage and X, with `og:video` for recordings.
- **Passwords and expiry** are checked on the server. Expired drops are deleted for you.
- **Named tokens** let bots and scripts upload under their own name and icon.
