Cross-device workflows aren’t a luxury anymore—indie apps are baking iOS-to-macOS sharing into the core. People expect seamless, offline-friendly syncing that works across devices and OS boundaries.
Clean Links now supports sharing cleaned links between iOS and macOS devices with iCloud sync and offline support; it syncs when devices come back online and works across multiple Macs. It requires all devices signed into the same iCloud account, and it even enables sharing across Macs via Shortcuts. Price: Free and ad-free. [1]
EasyJoin Air connects across iOS/iPadOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and Linux for file and clipboard sharing. Clipboard syncing starts on the iPhone/iPad in the foreground; other platforms sync automatically in the background over the local network, with no external servers. The app is free to use across platforms, with optional in-app purchases for premium features. [3]
SessionDock keeps DAW projects organized and adds an iPhone companion with CarPlay support. The core app is free, and a one-time Pro upgrade unlocks themes and unlimited cloud syncing. [4]
Closing thought: these patterns show cross-device workflows moving from novelty to expectation for indie developers and creatives alike.
