AirBridge

Send files directly between your Apple devices with a clearer send path, calmer transfer history, and local receiver controls.

AirBridge is a fast, secure way to transfer files between your Apple devices over the local network.

Send files directly between iPhone, iPad, native Mac, and Apple silicon Macs running the iPad app without routing your documents through a remote server. AirBridge is built for nearby transfers with clear device identity, one obvious send action, visible progress, and practical controls for trust and transfer history.

Use AirBridge to:

• discover nearby devices on your local network
• send files directly between your Apple devices
• send folders, text, and links through the same local transfer path
• review transfer progress and recent history
• manage trusted devices with clearer receiver approval prompts
• confirm local-transfer proof and receipt availability
• retry failed transfers and keep better visibility into what happened

AirBridge is designed for people who want more control and more visibility during local file transfer.

Key features:

• direct device-to-device transfer over the local network
• trust-on-first-use approval flow for safer receiving
• visible local-transfer proof and receipt sharing
• persistent trusted-device storage in the system keychain
• configurable transfer-history retention controls
• retry guidance and clearer transfer state presentation

AirBridge does not require an account and does not use remote storage to move your files between devices.
