Drop
A Telegram capture box that cleans up what you send and makes it possible to find again.
deepak-jha-kgp/drop
Why it exists
People send themselves links, screenshots, voice notes, and half-finished thoughts because capture has to be fast. The problem comes later: the saved pile has no useful title, no context, and no reliable way to search it.
Drop keeps Telegram as the quick front door, then gives the saved material a quiet place to live.
What it does
- Accept links, notes, and other captures from Telegram.
- Save the original item before any background work begins.
- Create a useful title, summary, tags, and filing information.
- Keep an event trail for what happened to the item.
- Browse and search the collection from the Drop app.
What a normal use looks like
You forward a long article from your phone with the note “use this for onboarding.” Drop saves the link immediately, adds a clear title and summary, and files it with the onboarding material. Weeks later, the note and the article are still together.
How it is built on Lemma

Make it yours
You do not need to keep this pod exactly as it is.
- Fork the repository.
- Change the instructions, app, tables, or rules for the way you work.
- Import your fork with
https://lemma.work/import/github/<your-github-name>/<your-repo>. - When it is useful, show your version here with one screenshot and a short note about what changed.
If this pod saved you from rebuilding the same thing, star the repo so the useful versions are easier to find.
