Airclap sends files between Mac, iPhone, Windows, and Android over local WiFi. No internet. No cables. No cloud. No account. Just drag and drop.
Download Free Free · No account needed · Works in 30 secondsIt only works between Apple devices. The moment you need to send a file to a Windows laptop or an Android phone, you're stuck.
AirDrop requires both sender and receiver to be on Apple hardware. Own a single Windows or Android device? You're locked out.
Uploading to Google Drive, emailing yourself, or using WeTransfer means waiting for uploads, downloads, and file size limits. Your files leave your network.
USB cables need adapters. Bluetooth is painfully slow. Setting up SMB shares takes 15 minutes. You just want to move a file, not debug a protocol.
