## What is Floopi?

Throw photos, PDFs and videos from your iPhone to your Mac with a flick of your hand – they open there instantly.

How it works
1. Show a photo, PDF or video on your iPhone and press the Action button or double-tap the back.
2. Hold your open hand in front of the front camera and make a fist.
3. Throw upward. The file flies off the screen and opens on your Mac.

Several computers
Pair your iPhone with more than one computer, at the office and at home. Before you throw, choose where the file goes, or throw to several at once.

Where you can throw from
Photos, Preview, Safari and Chrome. For links to PDFs, Floopi downloads the file itself. Or pick a file in the app, including from iCloud Drive or Google Drive.

Private and encrypted
Your iPhone and Mac pair once with a six-digit code. After that, every throw goes encrypted straight to your Mac – over your Wi-Fi or your iPhone’s hotspot, with no server, no account and no cloud. The camera runs for just a few seconds after you start a throw, recognizes your hand on the device and never saves or sends an image.

Back where you were
After the throw, your iPhone jumps back to the app you threw from. You can turn this off in settings.

Set up in minutes
The app walks you through everything: add the shortcut, assign the Action button or Back Tap, send the Mac app to your Mac via AirDrop, pair, first throw.

What you need
– An iPhone running iOS 27 or later, started with the Action button or, without one, with Back Tap
– A Mac running macOS 26 or later with the free Floopi Mac app
– Both on the same Wi-Fi, or your Mac on your iPhone’s hotspot

Subscription
Free for 7 days, then a monthly or yearly subscription. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-11-08

Magic Gestures is now Floopi. New: pair your iPhone with several computers and throw to one or to several at once. Update the app on your Mac too; it will be called Floopi as well. New throws land in Downloads/Floopi there.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-28

Now works without an Action button: double-tap the back of your iPhone to start a throw. This works on every iPhone running iOS 27, including iPhone 11 to 15 and iPhone SE (2nd generation and later). And after the throw, Magic Gestures takes you back to the app you threw from. This needs the new shortcut: gear icon → “Show Setup Again”.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-27

Hand recognition can now be fine-tuned without you needing an app update. Plus more detailed diagnostics for the gesture.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-24

No release notes.
