Magical Share

Magical Share for Mac sends files to a nearby phone using light. Your Mac shows a stream of moving codes, and the phone reads them with its camera in the free Magical Share app for iPhone or Android. Nothing goes over the internet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and there is nothing to pair.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No internet, no accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Passphrase protection encrypts the file end to end, so filming the screen reveals nothing without the passphrase. • Your file leaves the Mac only as the codes on its screen.

WORKS WHERE OTHER SHARING DOESN'T • From a Mac to Android phones as well as iPhones. • On a plane, in a basement, abroad without data. • On networks that block devices from seeing each other. • When Bluetooth is turned off or not allowed.

HOW IT WORKS 1. On the phone, open Magical Share and tap Receive. 2. On your Mac, pick a file, set a passphrase, and click Start sending. 3. Point the phone's camera at the Mac screen. Missed codes do not matter: the phone finishes with whichever codes it catches, and checks every byte before showing the file.

A large Mac display makes an excellent sender, because bigger codes are easier for a phone camera to read.

FREE FOR 7 DAYS Try sending free for 7 days. After that, a one-time Pro unlock keeps sending available. Pro and the trial are shared with Magical Share on iPhone and iPad through your Apple ID. No subscription, no account.

GOOD TO KNOW • The Mac version sends. Receiving needs a phone camera. • Best for documents, photos, contacts, notes and keys. Typical speeds are 50 to 100 KB per second, so a large video is better sent another way. • While sending, the screen flashes rapidly. If you are sensitive to flashing lights, do not look at the sending screen.

Magical Share collects no data at all. The full privacy policy is inside the app.
