Droppy for iPhone
Your Mac library, quietly in reach.
Scan one code and your iPhone joins your Mac. Clipboard, files, notes and fifteen droplets, end to end encrypted.
Free while it is in beta. TestFlight is Apple's own beta program, and installing takes a minute.
One code, once
Your Mac shows a code. Scan it, confirm on the phone, done. The code works once, then expires.
End to end encrypted
Your Mac makes the key and keeps it in its Keychain. It reaches your iPhone inside the pairing code you scan, and it never reaches a server.
Free while it is in beta
The iPhone app costs nothing. Syncing needs an active Droppy licence on the Mac it pairs with.
Pairing
About a minute, start to finish.
Nothing joins your library without you approving it on the phone.
-
Open Droppy on your Mac
It lives in the menu bar and in the notch.
-
Settings, General, Droppy Sync
Create a Sync Library if you have not already.
-
Choose Pair iPhone
Your Mac shows a QR code, with the link written under it.
-
Scan it, or paste it
Confirm on the phone. Camera is the only permission it asks for.
Everything syncs with your iPhone.
Sealed on the device first, so the server only holds what it cannot read.
On the phone
Everything your Mac keeps.
Six stores, both directions. Change something on either end and the other catches up on the next pass.
Clipboard
Everything your Mac copied, with the app it came from. Search it, filter to favourites, copy it back.
Basket and Shelf
The files you staged on the Mac. Open one, rename it, or hand it to another app.
OCR
Every text grab, still attached to the image it came from. The phone can add to it from the camera.
Notes
The same notes your Mac's shelf widget keeps. Write one here and it is on the shelf.
Cloud links
Every share link you made, from either device, with a copy button and a real delete.
Your devices
Revoke a phone, rotate its credential, or leave the library. Your licence card is here too.
Droplets
Fifteen droplets.
Some steer your Mac. Some just show it. Four run on the phone and need no Mac at all.
Mac controls
Reach across and change something
Now Playing
Artwork, progress, timed lyrics, and play, skip and back. The notch player, on a phone.
Audio Control
Your Mac's volume, mute, and output device, from the sofa.
Meetings
Mute the mic or kill the camera on the call running on your Mac.
Focus
Start, stop and scrub from the phone
Pomodoro
The focus timer in your notch, live. Set it on a tape that ticks under your thumb.
High Alert
Keep your Mac awake, for a while or indefinitely.
At a glance
Read-only
System Stats
CPU, memory, GPU, disk and battery. A snapshot per sync, not a live graph.
Weather
Your Mac's forecast, in this phone's units.
Agents
Which coding agents are running, and what each one is doing. No paths, no prompts.
Notes and tasks
One of these writes back
Calendar
Reminders and calendar events in one list. Tick a reminder off from here.
Notes
Create, edit, pin, search, delete.
Obsidian
Read and search the vault you linked on the Mac. Reading only.
On this iPhone
No Mac needed
OCR
Point the camera at a page and pull the text out, on the device.
AI Background Removal
Lift the subject out of a photo, on the phone. Nothing is uploaded.
Converter
Images, PDF pages and audio, converted on the phone. With a target size if you need one.
Voice Transcribe
Read the transcripts your Mac made. The phone never records.
Droppy Cloud
A link, without opening anything.
The same share links Droppy makes on your Mac, made from the phone.
- 200 MBper file
- 1 GBper link
- 25files per link
- 3 daysthen it expires
From the app
Add files or photos in the Cloud tab and get a private link back. No account needed on either end.
Refused before it uploads
The caps are checked on the phone, so an oversized file is named right away instead of after a long upload.
Yours to end early
Delete one before the three days are up and the files go for good, link included.
Cloud is a separate path from sync. A share link is a normal HTTPS link, not end to end encrypted.
The rest
Small things, done properly.
Mac timer widget
The focus timer or High Alert running on your Mac, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, down to a circular accessory.
A pulse, not a spinner
Pull to refresh and the gradient comes alive, with a soft tap when your Mac answers. Nothing buzzes on its own.
Built for iOS 26
Liquid Glass, a soft scroll edge on every list, and Reduce Motion honoured everywhere. iPhone only, in sixty-five languages.
