HyperDrop sends photos, videos, documents, texts, contacts and links directly from device to device – between iPhone and iPad, and to other phones running HyperDrop. Fast, private and without any detour through the cloud. No account, no sign-up, no ads. THREE WAYS TO SHARE • iPhone and iPad: Nearby devices find each other automatically over Bluetooth and direct Wi‑Fi – no shared network needed. Tap, send, done – with live progress and speed. • Other phones with HyperDrop: On the same Wi‑Fi they appear in the list automatically. Without a shared Wi‑Fi, the other phone opens its own small hotspot and shows a QR code – scan, connect, send. In both directions. • Browser/QR (only one has the app): HyperDrop shows a QR code and link. The other device opens it in any web browser to download your files or send you some back. Just a shared Wi‑Fi is needed. WHAT YOU CAN SEND • Photos & videos straight from your library (even whole albums) • Documents and any files, folders too (as a ZIP) • Texts and links • Your own contact card or a contact from your address book HANDY EVERY DAY • Multiple recipients at once • Accept or decline – you decide what arrives • Thumbnails for received files • Received photos and videos are saved to your library automatically • Transfer history with an overview by file type • "Send to HyperDrop" right from Photos, Safari & Files • Available in 12 languages YOUR FILES STAY WITH YOU All transfers go directly between devices on the local network or via Bluetooth – no servers, no account. Between devices with HyperDrop they are encrypted. Your files are not stored anywhere along the way. NOTE Browser mode transfers unencrypted within the local Wi‑Fi – use it on trusted networks. Use at your own responsibility.
