Droplet Labs

Yaoundé, Cameroon

Droplet Labs is an independent initiative from Yaoundé that builds software for the moments when connection is scarce: messages that travel without the internet, files that move between nearby devices, learning that fits in a phone.

An independent technology initiative in development. Not yet a registered company.

Most software is built for a fast, cheap, permanent connection. Much of the world does not have one. We build for that world first: messages that hop from phone to phone, files that cross a room without the internet, learning that fits on a modest device.

  1. 01 / 04

    No signal. The message still arrives.

    Droplet Messenger passes an encrypted message from phone to phone over Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi until it reaches the right person.

  2. 02 / 04

    The same chats, on a bigger screen.

    Droplet Web links to the phone’s account: photos, videos and voice notes, in both directions.

  3. 03 / 04

    Any file, to any device nearby.

    Droplet Drop sends folders straight over the local network, from Android to Windows, Mac or Linux.

  4. 04 / 04

    A whole room, in a single send.

    Group Drop sends the same files to thirty devices at once, each copy checked block by block.

The ambition is Droplet ID: one identifier, no personal information, a key that never leaves your device, to sign in to every Droplet app. It already works in Droplet Messenger and Droplet Web; the rest is the roadmap, step by step.
