AirDrop requires both devices nearby. iTunes is slow. iCloud costs money. Seyfr transfers files from iPhone to Mac wirelessly — free, full quality, no account, works on all Macs including M1, M2, and M3.
Download Seyfr free from the App Store. Works on iPhone 12 and later.
Open the Seyfr app on your iPhone. A QR code appears immediately — no setup, no pairing.
On your Mac, open the Camera app or any browser — Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. Scan the QR code or type the URL shown. A file transfer interface opens instantly. No Mac app installation needed.
Select files on your iPhone to send to your Mac. Or drag files from your Mac Finder into the browser to send them to your iPhone. Transfers at full Wi-Fi speed with zero compression.
Seyfr sends your iPhone photos at full resolution — 48MP, 50MP, or whatever your iPhone camera records. HEIC, JPEG, RAW, and Live Photos all transfer natively. Nothing is compressed or converted.
This makes Seyfr the best way to transfer iPhone photos to Mac for photographers and creators who need to preserve full resolution for editing in Lightroom, Capture One, or Final Cut Pro.
iPhone videos — especially ProRes, 4K Cinematic Mode, and slow-motion — can be multiple gigabytes per minute. AirDrop can handle these, but requires both devices within range. Seyfr works over your home Wi-Fi — you can be in different rooms. And it works across different networks too (e.g., iPhone on mobile data, Mac on home Wi-Fi) via Seyfr's hole-punching technology.
Seyfr works in both directions. To send files from your Mac to your iPhone:
Works for any file type — documents, ZIP files, music, eBooks, fonts, whatever you need on your iPhone.

Yes. Seyfr works entirely in the browser on the Mac side — Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. No Mac app needs to be installed. This means it works identically on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4). No Rosetta, no compatibility issues.
Seyfr works with every Mac model — MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Both older Intel models and newer Apple Silicon models. The only requirement is a browser and a Wi-Fi connection shared with your iPhone.
No USB. No iTunes. No iCloud subscription. Works on all Macs.
Install Seyfr on your iPhone (free, App Store). Open it, scan the QR code with your Mac's camera or any browser, and select the files to transfer. No cable, no USB, no drivers required.
Seyfr transfers directly from iPhone to Mac over local Wi-Fi without using iCloud at all. No internet upload required. Your files go directly from your iPhone to your Mac.
Use Seyfr in reverse — open Seyfr on your iPhone, scan the QR code on your Mac in any browser, then drag files from your Mac Finder into the upload area in the browser. They transfer directly to your iPhone's Files app.
Yes. Seyfr transfers HEIC files natively. Mac can open HEIC files directly. If you need them as JPEG for another use, the Photos app on Mac can convert them on import.
Yes. Seyfr is a great alternative when AirDrop isn't working — different network issues, compatibility problems, or distance. Seyfr works over your home Wi-Fi network even if AirDrop is failing.
You can create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your iPhone (Personal Hotspot) and connect your Mac to it. Seyfr will work over that local connection.
