Show HN: Drag to AirDrop

Quick AirDrop sharing in your menu bar

AirDrop files and folders simply by dragging them onto the app’s menu bar icon.

(Requires macOS 26)

Privacy

The app is built without internet permissions (no network entitlement), so macOS prevents it from connecting to the internet even if it wanted to.

Can it send directly to a specific device without showing the picker?

No. Apple doesn’t expose any way to preselect an AirDrop target. You must choose a device in the AirDrop picker.

Why doesn’t my iPhone/iPad/Mac show up as a target?

AirDrop device discovery is up to the system. Ensure AirDrop is enabled, both devices are unlocked/awake, and are on compatible settings (Contacts Only/Everyone for 10 Minutes).

AirDrop is not working

This just triggers the AirDrop picker with the dragged files. It has no control over how AirDrop works.

Speed. Drag straight to the menu bar.
