Heliograph File Transfer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Send a file straight from your iPhone to another, with nothing in between. Heliograph moves files device-to-device — over Bluetooth, your local Wi-Fi network, or a flickering QR code the other phone reads with its camera. There's no account to make, no cloud storage involved, and no server anywhere in the middle. Your file goes from one phone to the other, and nowhere else. HOW IT WORKS Open Heliograph on both phones. Pick Send on one and choose a file — Heliograph starts offering it immediately, over everything it has. Pick Receive on the other, and it listens on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and camera all at once. Whichever path the two phones can actually reach each other with is the one it uses, automatically — you never have to choose a transport yourself. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • No account, no sign-up, no server — files move directly between the two devices in the room • Uses whatever's available: Bluetooth, local Wi-Fi, or a flickering QR code read by the other phone's camera • An interrupted transfer resumes where it left off instead of starting over from zero • Works with anything already on your phone — photos, videos, documents ALSO ON MAC Heliograph Premium unlocks the Mac version too — the same app, the same way of sending a file, without needing either device on the same cable or the same cloud account. HELIOGRAPH PREMIUM Heliograph is free to use on iPhone, supported by a couple of unobtrusive ads — one when the app opens, one on the home screen. Heliograph Premium ($6.99/year, auto-renews until cancelled, billed through your Apple ID) removes both. Manage or cancel it any time in Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions. The same subscription is what unlocks Heliograph on Mac, where there's no free tier. PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY Camera: reading the flickering QR codes when receiving that way. Photos: letting you choose a file to send. Bluetooth and local network: finding the other phone and moving the file between them. Nothing is accessed until you actually use it for that purpose — see the in-app Privacy Policy for the full picture, including what Heliograph's ads involve.
