## What is Hyperduck?

Quickly send a link from your iOS device to your Mac.

It provides a “Send to Mac” button in the share sheet of any app that provides a URL.

For example, share a link from Safari on your iPhone or iPad and have it open in the default browser on your Mac.

You can send a link even if your iOS device and/or Mac are offline. The link will be sent and received the next time the devices are online. The link will never be lost. The devices do not need to be on the same network.

Your iOS device and Mac must have iCloud enabled and be signed into the same Apple ID account.

My personal use-case is that I often discover cool stuff when I check Twitter on the go and I want to dig deeper into it later on my Mac. I have tried Instapaper, Pocket, Safari Reading List, iCloud Tabs, and more. The problem with them all is that I forget to check them.

You can even use this app to trigger shortcuts on your Mac from your iOS device. See the website for more info.

Sends to one Mac only. Install the macOS app on the single Mac you want to receive links on. If you install it on multiple Macs, iCloud may deliver a link to any of them, unpredictably.

Note: Because of an iOS bug, you have to restart your device for the Shortcuts actions to show up.

Note: Links will not be sent when low power mode is enabled as background syncing is disabled then. They will be sent the next time you open the app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-07-11*

It’s like magic!

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2026-05-19*

O que mais me chamou atenção foi como o app consegue ser extremamente simples, rápido e funcional ao mesmo tempo. Ele resolve um problema real sem complicar a experiência.

Hoje muitos aplicativos tentam fazer tudo, mas o Hyperduck faz uma coisa específica muito bem: acelerar o fluxo entre ideias, links e produtividade no ecossistema Apple.

A sensação é que o app “some” e deixa você focar apenas no que importa.
Você compartilha algo e pronto — sem atrito, sem excesso de etapas, sem poluição visual.

Achei genial principalmente para quem vive pesquisando, estudando, criando ou salvando referências durante o dia. É aquele tipo de ferramenta pequena que acaba economizando muito tempo mental.

Parabéns pela experiência construída. Simplesmente elegante.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-03-29*

Great app but sometimes it just doesn’t send the things over even if I send it more than one time.

### 5/5 — Helps every day!

*2026-03-04*

Super smart app! Does what it needs to do! Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-02-23*

The most useful app for sharing from iOS to a Mac.

### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect

*2026-01-31*

I wish I could pay for this app every month so that I could ensure it would never go away. I need this app, it’s all I’ve ever wanted!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-01-24, version 1.4.0*

It’s like magic!

### 1/5 — Unnütz und funktioniert gar nicht

*2025-07-24*

UPDATE 2: nachdem ich auf die äußerst unfreundliche unprofessionelle Rückmeldung des Anbieters eingegangen bin, hat er heute den Kommentar noch mal bearbeitet, damit es nicht auf ihn zurückfällt. Ich finde es immer noch ein Unding, seine Kunden so zu behandeln, äußerst unfreundlich und unprofessionell. Meine Meinung ist weiterhin, die Finger davon zu lassen.

UPDATE: Ich glaube, ich brauch nicht viel mehr zu sagen, da man an der Rückmeldung schon merkt, wie freundlich er ist, dass er mir unterstellt, dass ich herum trollen würde..?! Danke für nichts!!!

Bitte spart euch das Geld oder wirft es lieber aus dem Fenster raus, anstatt diese App zu kaufen.

Ich verstehe die ganzen Bewertungen gar nicht. Die App funktioniert nicht mal richtig und das Service ist Mega schlecht und unfreundlich.

**Developer response:** Ich habe keine aktuellen E-Mails zu Problemen mit der App erhalten – und ich helfe immer gerne weiter, wenn etwas nicht funktioniert :)

I haven’t received any recent emails about issues with the app, and I’m always happy to help if something’s not working :)

### 5/5 — Underrated app

*2025-05-28, version 1.3.0*

By fave my favorite app to simple function ratio. Im always out and about, looking at something on my iPhone that I would prefer to look at when I have more time, a larger screen, or just later. This is a quick share function with no extra button presses required. I look at my computer later and whatever I shared is there waiting for me. Usually an article or YouTube video, but you can also use Mac internal URL schemes to have your computer at home do all kinds of things for you while you’re away.

### 5/5 — Better for easy reading.

*2025-03-18*

When you encounter an interesting subject on your iPhone it is easy to transfer it on your Mac .And you will not forget it in Reading List because it will open by itself next time you use your Mac. Much  more eye pleasing on large screen!
