Send a whole trip, project or client handoff as one bundle — notes, files, photos and places — in a single share. Sling is for anyone tired of firing off six separate messages to get one thing across. THE PROBLEM One PDF here, a photo there, an address in a third message, a note in a fourth. The other person has to piece it together, and something always gets lost. WHAT SLING DOES Sling gathers everything about one thing into a single named bundle, then hands the whole bundle to your phone's share sheet — so it goes out through WhatsApp, Messages, email, Telegram or Drive in one action. HOW IT WORKS Make a bundle and name it. Drop in notes, photos, files and places. Hit share — the whole bundle goes at once. PERFECT FOR • Trip itineraries — flights, hotel and what to pack, in one send • Client handoffs — deliverables, links and notes together • Project briefs — the spec plus reference photos and files • Event details — schedule, venue pin and a photo • Apartment move — inventory photos, lease PDF, new address • Team updates — status note, screenshots and the relevant docs EXAMPLE BUNDLES • Trip bundle: flight PDF + hotel address pin + packing note + 4 photos • Handoff bundle: final export ZIP + design link + a note on what's left • Move bundle: lease PDF + 10 room photos + the new place dropped on the map WHAT GOES IN • Notes — plans, links, anything you'd paste into a chat • Photos — straight from your library, several at once • Files — PDFs, docs, tickets, spreadsheets, ZIPs • Places — drop a pin, name it, send it as a real map link HOW IT ARRIVES Two ways to send. One-file mode packs your note and every attachment into a single ZIP — best for chat apps that otherwise drop half a share. Or send text and files side by side — best for email and Telegram. Either way the recipient gets everything together, nothing to chase. START IN SECONDS • No sign-up wall — open the app and start building • Add a Google or Apple account later to back things up and keep the same bundles across phones FREE & PRO • Free covers everyday bundles with generous storage • Pro raises the storage ceiling and removes ads PRIVACY Your bundles sync to your own account. Sling only asks for what a share needs — photos you pick, files you choose, and location only when you add a place. Pack it once. Send it anywhere.
