The gap
Individually, your phone and your Mac are the best tools you own. Together, they still ask you to be the messenger: copy a link on one, retype it on the other; pick up your phone to read a code that is already sitting in front of you.
Beyond the Devices closes that gap over the network you already have. No account to create, no cloud in the middle, and no new habit to learn — the two devices simply start behaving like they know each other.
What ships in 1.0.0
Not a platform. A focused set of things that remove small, daily friction between two devices.
Copy text on one device and paste it on the other. Mac-to-phone is immediate; the phone side is bound by an Android rule, explained below.
Android only lets the focused app read the clipboard. Copying on the phone syncs when you return to the app or tap the Sync now notification.

Share a URL from any Android app and it opens on the Mac — in your browser, at the point you left off.
Shared from phone
A foreground service and a menu bar item keep the link alive while you work, so the connection is there when you need it.
Menu bar
The menu bar item stays while the app keeps the connection alive in the background.
On the roadmap
Other features like file transfer, photo browsing and more are planned for future releases.
How it works
Download the disk image, drag the app to Applications and open it. It lives in your menu bar.
The Android build is being prepared for Google Play. Verify with the Download page for the current status.
The Mac shows a QR code with a code that expires. Scan it on the phone, then approve the device on the Mac.
Privacy & security
Your phone and Mac talk to each other directly, over the network in your home or studio. There is no account system to secure because there is no account, and no server holding your data because there is no server.
Read the privacy policyInstall it on both sides, pair once, and stop being the courier between your own devices.
