Drop it on the icon

Drag files onto Klot in the menu bar, or paste a link or a note. Folders keep a trip or a project together, and Quick Look works on everything.

Everything you've shared, and share again

Klot keeps a list of every link: what was in it, how many times it was opened, and when it ran out. One click brings an old one back.

For the people
around you

AirDrop needs everyone on Apple, on recent versions. Klot needs a browser and the same Wi‑Fi.

How phones work

Questions

No. They open a link or scan a QR code in the browser they already have. A phone you pair gets a Klot icon on its Home Screen, which is a shortcut to a web page, so there's still nothing to install from a store.

Klot tells the phone it's on a different network and which Wi‑Fi to join. If there's no Wi‑Fi you can both use, turn on Personal Hotspot on the phone and join it from the Mac. Klot finds the Mac on the new network by itself.

Files go from your Mac to the other device over your Wi‑Fi. A small relay server keeps links working when your Mac's Wi‑Fi address changes and sends the notifications. It sees link names and titles, and the files themselves go straight between the devices.

The Mac app needs macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. On the other side, anything with a recent browser: iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Linux, another Mac. Notifications on iPhone need iOS 16.4 or later.

Nothing while Klot is in beta. A paid version will come later, and links you share now keep working.

No. The files are on your Mac, so it has to be awake and on the network. Klot opens at login, and a phone that tries while the Mac sleeps sees a clear message and retries.
