About
Move files between iPhone, iPad, Macs with Apple silicon and the StarShare website, without creating an account.
• Pair by QR code, invite link, or four characters
Tap Share my pairing code to show your QR code or share an invite link. On iPhone and iPad, scan the other device's QR code or use manual code entry at the bottom. Mac starts with manual entry; camera scanning is available when a compatible camera and permission are available. Devices on the same Wi-Fi can also appear nearby. Camera images are processed on the device to read QR codes and are not saved or uploaded. Return to StarShare after sharing a link; your code may change after a longer interruption.
• Choose what to send
On iPhone or iPad, choose a photo or video from Photos, or choose a file using the system file picker. Send one non-empty file at a time, up to 500 MiB. The recipient accepts before the transfer begins. Text and links can also be sent as a text file.
• Keep what you receive
After the file is received and its integrity is checked, save or share it using the system share sheet. On iPhone and iPad, received files are also available in the StarShare folder in Files. On Mac, use Save or share file to export to a chosen location.
• Review and manage your history
Transfer history stays on this device, including file names, the other device's display name, send or receive direction, date and time, and results. View it after disconnecting or reopening the app, grouped by date with the newest entries first. Delete an ended transfer's record alone, or also delete its received file when that file is still available. Copies exported elsewhere are unaffected.
• Choose your appearance
Choose system, light or dark appearance. Layouts adapt to the device and window size, with a wider sharing workspace and header tabs on iPad.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network with internet access, and keep StarShare open on both. Keep the app in the foreground during transfers. Mac support requires Apple silicon. A pairing code helps devices find each other; this version does not promise connectivity between different networks.
The app interface is currently in Traditional Chinese.
Open StarShare and choose something to share.
