Cheese 2 makes sharing as easy as dropping something on the 🧀, and makes every panel look and feel like one app.

The drop hub and the Cheese Share panel

New in Share

  • Drop anything on the menu bar icon. Files, a picture from a browser, a link or a text selection. The icon lights up and a drop hub opens under it: Share Link / QR, Add to Shelf, and the PDF, Convert and Images tools that fit your files.
  • A new Share panel. A Ready to Share strip (drop files anywhere on the panel, click +, or Share Clipboard), the link as a QR code with Copy Link, a live status with Stop, and compact LocalSend device tiles. Click a device to send what's ready, or drop files straight onto it.
  • A clean page for phones and browsers. Scanning a Share or QR link opens a page that follows the phone's light or dark mode: files with Download File or Download All (.zip), picture previews, text with Copy Text (works over plain Wi-Fi) and Open Link ↗. Photos, files and text go back to the Mac with a live progress bar and no reloads. The page counts down and says when the link has expired. It's fully self-contained, with no outside requests.
  • Cheese Share sends and receives with phones and computers nearby, through that page or the free LocalSend app (encrypted), and the Shelf (⌃⌥F) parks files, images, text and links while you find where they go.

New in Copy

  • Drag clipboard items into any app. Drop history items straight into Messages, Slack, Discord, a browser chat, Mail or Finder.
  • Edit text in place. Click ✏️ in the corner of a text preview (or ⌘E), fix it, then paste or drag the edited text where it goes.
  • A reworked clipboard history layout, and Show Clipboard as QR now uses the new link card and phone page.

New in Control

  • Fill to Screen (⌃⌥M) resizes every open window to fill its display without native full screen, leaving room for Stage Manager. ⌃⌥⇧M does just the current window.
  • Auto-Kill (⌃⌥Q) quits every open app in one go, sparing the ones you shield. Hold ⌥ to force-kill.

Improved

  • One look everywhere. Panels have crisper edges with a fine inner border, tighter corners, the same dividers, and a soft hover on every row and button.
  • The menu bar menu is grouped by what you do: Capture, Files, Windows and Tools submenus.
  • A welcome screen where you pick your tools, which then asks only for the permissions those need. Plus an About window and Cheese Share in every app's Share menu.
  • Draw on screen: the live stroke now stays exactly under the brush.
  • Shelf: drops land reliably, and there's Upload Files… and paste for when you'd rather not drag.

Update

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maanit-gupta/Cheese/main/install.sh | bash

Or download Cheese.zip below and replace the app in Applications. Your history and settings are kept. If macOS blocks the first launch, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. The first time you share, allow the Local Network prompt, and the firewall prompt if your firewall is on.
