Watch it work
See it work in under a minute.
Real screens from the Mac, Windows and Android apps: the clipboard, resumable transfers, your phone's files, notifications and the command line.
Works anywhere
Every device. Every network.
Mac to Windows, PC to phone, phone to phone. On home Wi-Fi, an office LAN, or just your phone's hotspot on a train.
Any pair of devices
Not just phone to computer. Pair your Mac with your Windows PC, your PC with a Linux box, or two phones with each other. Every device can talk to every other.
Mac ↔ Windows works exactly like phone ↔ computer.
Any network you have
Deskdrop needs a local network, not the internet. If both devices can see each other, they can pair. When discovery is blocked, connect by IP address instead.
Wi-Fi
Home, office or café. Devices on the same network find each other on their own.
Ethernet and LAN
A desktop on a cable and a laptop on Wi-Fi, behind the same router, just work.
Your phone's hotspot
No router around? Turn on the hotspot and join it from your laptop. Transfers stay between the two devices and never touch mobile data.
Universal clipboard
Copy on one.
Paste on all of them.
Whatever you copy is on your other devices a moment later, and in a history you can search from any of them. Anything that looks like a secret stays where it was copied. Try it.

Dropped Wi-Fi doesn't start it over. Big files finish.
Send a 2 GB video across the room. If the network blips, Deskdrop carries on from the last piece that arrived.
Picks up where it stopped
Every chunk the other device confirms stays confirmed. When the link comes back, the transfer continues from there, not from zero.
Speed follows the link
More chunks in flight on a fast network, fewer on a slow one, and videos or zips skip pointless compression.
Your laptop stays awake
It will not doze off halfway through a big file. Sleep is held off until the last byte is in.
Command palette
Everything, one keystroke away.
Send, push, pair, pause and scan without reaching for the mouse. This one works: click in and type. And press anywhere on this site for ours.

Your phone, part of your desk.
Once two devices trust each other, a lot more than files and text can cross between them.

A real CLI
Script everything the apps do, over the same local socket.
Native everywhere
Four real apps. Not one app in four wrappers.
SwiftUI on the Mac, WinUI on Windows, Compose on Android and a systemd service on Linux, all driving the same Rust engine. Every one comes in light and dark.
Devices. Your connected phone front and centre, with battery, free space, and one click to send or browse its files.
Security
Your Wi-Fi is not trusted. Neither is anything on it.
Being on the same network gets a device nothing. You pair once by checking that both screens show the same six digits, and from then on every byte is encrypted end to end.
