SyncBeam

Utilities

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Send files from iPhone to Mac in under a second. No cloud, no accounts, no AirDrop. Scan once, then it's two taps forever. Free. SyncBeam is the fastest way to get files from your iPhone to your Mac — no cloud, no accounts, no AirDrop mystery failures. Set up takes 30 seconds. Install the Mac app, scan the QR code with your iPhone, and you're paired for good. After that, sending a file is two taps: tap Share, tap SyncBeam. Your file travels over your local Wi-Fi and lands in ~/Downloads instantly. How it works SyncBeam uses mDNS/Bonjour to find your Mac automatically — no IP addresses, no port forwarding. Files are transferred directly over your local network using token-secured HTTPS. Nothing ever touches a server. Features • Transfers complete in under 1 second • Lives quietly in your macOS menu bar — a green dot means it's ready • Works from any app with a Share Sheet: Photos, Files, Safari, and more • Files land in ~/Downloads or any folder you choose • System notification confirms every received file • No Wi-Fi setup beyond being on the same network Privacy Your files never leave your network. No cloud storage, no accounts, no tracking, no subscription. SyncBeam is free. Requires macOS 12 Monterey or later and iOS 16 or later. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
