Universal Continuity PlatformUniversal Continuity.
Your devices. One trusted network.
Works seamlessly across shared Wi-Fi networks or mobile hotspots.
What is Deskdrop?
Built into one local-first platform.
1. Discover
2. Pair & Trust
Instant discovery.
Persistent trust.
Deskdrop uses secure local Multicast DNS (mDNS) to locate your devices in milliseconds on your local subnet. Works seamlessly over any standard local Wi-Fi network or direct mobile hotspot connection, completely offline.
3. Background Auto Reconnect
No manual triggers or repeat logins. Once paired, devices natively register cryptographic keys and automatically reconnect in the background the moment they detect each other on the same local Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot.
4. Seamless Mesh Syncing
Relay your clipboard text copies, files, call notifications, and battery status metrics instantly. Operates at absolute sub-millisecond local network speeds protected by end-to-end ChaCha20 encryption.
Timeline-First Clipboard.
Most sync apps silently overwrite your OS clipboard. Deskdrop isolates incoming data into a sandboxed Activity Feed.
Preview items, review who sent them, and explicitly apply them when you're ready. Complete control over your workflow.
LocalSend-class file transfer.
Built directly into the continuity layer. Files are chunked into 256KB encrypted blocks and streamed peer-to-peer. Resumable natively.
Uncompromising Native Apps.
No generic web wrappers. Deskdrop uses a highly optimized Rust core bound directly to SwiftUI on macOS, Kotlin on Android, and WinUI on Windows.
Native System Integrations
Lives quietly in the Menu Bar and System Tray. Prevents OS sleep states (App Nap / Modern Standby) intelligently during active transfers.
Zero-Cloud Architecture
Every byte stays on your local subnet, protected by production-grade AEAD cryptography.
Your mobile lens, natively on your Mac.
Stream your Android camera directly to your macOS workspace in real-time. Deskdrop recognizes your device natively as a high-fidelity video stream with zero drivers, configurations, or cloud relays.
- ✓Ultra-low latency: Utilizes raw TCP streaming over your local subnet for fluid, high-framerate video feeds.
- ✓Document Scanning: Toggle flash and autofocus remotely to snap pixel-perfect physical document captures directly to your desktop folders.
- ✓Absolute Privacy: Encoded frame buffers are sent directly peer-to-peer—never touching a remote server or logging data.
Unified Call Awareness & System Metrics.
Relay phone system events and hardware telemetry across your screens. Get instant desktop notifications for incoming call rings and charging milestones, allowing you to leave your phone charging across the room.
- ✓Incoming Call Telemetry: Interactive macOS notification banners relay call statuses (ringing, active, or idle) instantly in the background.
- ✓Battery Level Syncing: Real-time power level tracking notifies you on your Mac the moment your phone reaches a full charge.
- ✓Deep hardware hook: Natively queries Android telephony state APIs without keeping the screen active or wasting battery.
