-That gives you a Tailscale panel in the bar, which connects and disconnects the tailnet, switches accounts, and picks an exit node — your own machines and Mullvad regions both show up in the list. It also browses your machines, and that's where Taildrop lives: select a machine and press `s` to send it files, or `c`, `n`, and `d` to copy its IP, name, or full DNS name. The terminal equivalent is `omarchy tailscale send <machine> [file...]`, and files sent to you land in `~/Downloads` automatically.
