How it works

1

Copy a link

From Chrome, Slack, a PDF — anywhere. Even a link buried inside copied text.

2

Press L

The native AirDrop picker opens instantly with your link ready to send.

3

Pick a device

The link opens on the other side. No Safari detour, no texting yourself URLs.

Small app, sharp edges filed off

Drag & drop

Drag a link — or a file — onto the menu bar icon to AirDrop it.

Zero permission prompts

No Accessibility access, no Input Monitoring, no network calls. Nothing to grant.

Native & tiny

Pure Swift + AppKit. No Electron, no background bloat — it's a menu bar icon.

Smart link finding

Copied a whole paragraph? LinkDrop finds the URL in it. Bare domains work too.

Files ride along

A copied file on the clipboard AirDrops just as well as a link.

Open source

Read every line, build it yourself, or send a PR on GitHub.
