Copy, capture, mark up.
Then carry on on iPhone.

Tandem sends clipboard content, screenshots and files from Mac straight to iPhone over an encrypted local connection — with screen recording, OCR, scrolling capture and image editing built in. No account. No cloud.

Core features free · Pro $19.99 one-time · macOS 14+ / iOS 16+

From Mac to iPhone, with three fewer detours.

Let content hand off between devices instead of taking a trip through chat, cloud drives and Photos.

  1. 01

    Copy, then paste directly

    Copy on Mac and insert from the Tandem keyboard on iPhone.

  2. 02

    Capture, mark up, sync

    Crop, redact and add arrows; the result lands on your phone.

  3. 03

    Finish long-form work in one place

    Scrolling capture, OCR, recording and GIF all start from one menu.

Five jobs, one handoff.

Sync, capture, edit, record and history are one connected workflow, not five isolated utilities.

02 / 05

Screenshot

Windows, regions and scrolling pages all start from one native capture entry point.

  • Smart window and UI element detection
  • Scrolling capture and OCR
  • Edit, copy or sync immediately

Your content takes the short route, not the cloud route.

Devices discover each other via Bonjour on the same network, then transfer end-to-end encrypted content between paired devices.

A few things you may want to know first

Network, accounts, requirements and the free version.

Do Mac and iPhone need to be on the same Wi-Fi?

They need to be on the same local network. Tandem uses Bonjour to find paired devices automatically, and your content is never uploaded to the cloud.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Pair your devices once with a QR or six-digit code. There is no sign-up and no cloud account.

What can the free version sync?

Core syncs text, links, code and colors and keeps 20 recent clips. Pro adds files, images, deeper history, search and filters.

How is this different from Apple Universal Clipboard?

Tandem adds visible history, searchable content, file transfer, capture and editing tools while keeping transfers on your local network.

Which system versions are supported?

Tandem requires macOS 14 or later on Mac and iOS 16 or later on iPhone.

Capture on Mac. Continue on iPhone.

Core sync stays free. Upgrade to Pro only when you need deeper history and file transfer.
