MAndroid Drop is a production-grade, privacy-focused tool designed to make your cross-device workflow seamless. Copy text on your Mac and have it instantly available on your phone. Share from your phone, and it's on your Mac clipboard before you even reach for it.
No Cloud. No Logins. No Subscriptions. Just lightning-fast sync over your local network.
MAndroid Drop isn't just another utility; it's a premium ecosystem designed for power users who value speed and privacy.
- ⚡ Instant Sync: Real-time bidirectional clipboard sharing powered by high-performance WebSockets.
- 📷 QR Pairing: Zero configuration. Launch the Mac app, scan the code with your phone, and you're connected.
- 🔄 Background Persistence: Android Foreground Service keeps you connected even when the app is closed.
- 📥 Heads-up Alerts: High-priority notifications with sound and peek for instant Mac-to-Phone sync.
- 🔒 Private by Design: Your data never leaves your local network. Sync happens directly between your devices.
- 📋 Native Mac App: Lightweight menu bar application that stays out of your way until you need it.
MAndroid Drop isn't just about moving text; it's about eliminating the friction between your devices.
- Mac → Phone: Copy a complex password, a code snippet, or a OTP from your terminal and paste it directly into your phone's app. No more manual typing!
- Phone → Mac: Copy a long URL from Instagram or a message from WhatsApp on your phone, and it’s already on your Mac clipboard, ready for
Cmd+V.
- System Share Integration: Found a great link or text on your phone? Use the Android "Share to..." menu to send it directly to your Mac without even opening the app.
- Manual Sync: Use the "Send to Mac" bottom sheet for quick ad-hoc notes or messages you want to see on your computer.
- Push Feedback: Get a native Android notification with sound and banner (peek) the moment your Mac clipboard updates.
- Background Task: The Android service runs with high priority to ensure you never miss a sync, even in deep sleep.
- Status Tracking: Keep tabs on your connection status directly from the Mac menu bar icon (📋) or the phone's dashboard.
- Direct P2P: Unlike cloud sync tools, MAndroid Drop never stores your clipboard history on a server. It exists only on your devices.
- Real-time Only: Data is streamed instantly and never cached on disk, keeping your sensitive clips safe.
MAndroid Drop uses a sophisticated local-only architecture to ensure your data stays yours.
