Questions, answered
What do I need?
A Mac with Bluetooth running macOS 26 or later, and an iPhone running iOS 26 or later. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on on both. Full details are on the download page.
How do I pair my iPhone and Mac?
Once, in person: open SeamDrop on both devices, hold your iPhone next to your Mac and press and hold Connect. Or scan the QR code your Mac shows with your iPhone. From then on they find each other over your Wi-Fi, with no account to sign in to.
Do my files go through the cloud?
No. Files and clipboard contents travel directly between your own devices over Wi-Fi or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, encrypted with TLS. They never touch our servers, and there is no account to create. Read the privacy policy for details.
Does the iPhone app need to be open?
For the drag gesture, yes: keep SeamDrop open on your iPhone while you hold it to your Mac, because iOS doesn't let apps follow drags in the background. To send something from another app, use Share › SeamDrop instead.
What can I send, and where does it go?
Photos, videos, documents and any other file, at original quality, plus text and images on the clipboard. On your Mac, received files land on the Desktop. On your iPhone they appear in the app, one tap away from Photos or Files.
What does it cost?
The Mac app is a one-time purchase of $5 after a free 14-day trial, with no subscription. The iPhone app is free. See pricing.
Can I use one license on more than one Mac?
Yes, on up to 3 Macs at a time. Moving to a new Mac? Deactivate the old one first. License help explains how.
What if it isn’t for me?
Try it free for 14 days before you buy. If you change your mind after buying, ask within 14 days for a refund. See the refund policy.
