Every device, one app
Mac, PC, iPhone, Android — or just open the web portal in any browser. No ecosystem lock-in, no "sorry, that only works on Apple."
Cross-platform file sharing
The one app that replaces every file-sharing workaround.
Skip a file straight to your Mac, PC, iPhone, or Android — yours or a friend's, anywhere in the world. Device-to-device, no file size limits, and it even works offline over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Works on
- macOS
- Windows
- iPhone
- Android
- Web
The only Android in a family of iPhones? A Mac on your desk but an Android in your pocket? A folder too big for email or AirDrop? SkipStone was built for exactly that.
Why SkipStone
Built to be the file-sharing app — not another one.
No file size limits
Send 4K videos, disk images, whole project folders — files go device-to-device, not through a capped cloud inbox.
Works offline
Share over the same Wi-Fi network, or straight over Bluetooth when there's no network at all — on a plane, on a hike, anywhere the internet isn't.
Fast & direct
Files take the shortest path: straight between devices over the internet, your local network, or Bluetooth — whichever is quickest for the devices in play.
Private & encrypted
Every transfer is encrypted end-to-end, over the internet and on local Wi-Fi alike. Files go straight between your devices and are never parked on someone else's server.
Send to many at once
Add your devices and trusted friends, then skip a file across all of them in one go — a family's worth of phones, or just every machine you own.
Made for real life
If any of these sound familiar, SkipStone is for you.
The AirDrop gap
"I'm the only Android in my whole friend group — I just want to drop a photo into the chat like everyone else."
Mixed setup
"My desktop is a Mac, but I daily-drive an Android phone. Nothing talks to each other cleanly."
Big files
"I need to move a 12 GB video off my phone and email/cloud limits keep getting in the way."
Many devices
"I've got a laptop, a tablet, a phone, and a work machine — I want one file on all of them, fast."
Off the grid
"We're on a flight with no Wi-Fi and I need to hand a file to the person next to me."
No install needed
"I just need to grab a file and all I've got is a browser — no downloads, no installs."
How it works
Three taps from "I need to send this" to done.
-
1
Add your devices & people
Sign in on each device, then add friends by invite link or QR scan. Your circle is ready in seconds.
-
2
Pick a file
Choose any file or folder — or share straight into SkipStone from your phone's share sheet.
-
3
Skip it over
Tap a device. SkipStone picks the best route — internet, local Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth — and sends it.
And it's not just files: your clipboard skips too. Copy text or an image on one device, paste it on another.
How it stacks up
The fastest way to move a file — on every device.
We put SkipStone head-to-head with the apps people actually use — same file, same network, same devices. Here's one 3.6 GB video, sent from a phone:
| App | Time to send 3.6 GB | Works across… |
|---|---|---|
| SkipStone | 24 seconds | iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Web |
| Send Anywhere | 50 seconds | Routes through their cloud |
| AirDrop | ~5 minutes (failed first try) | Apple devices only |
| Quick Share | 19+ minutes | No iPhone support |
Why it's faster
We rebuilt the transfer engine from scratch and tuned it until it stopped leaving speed on the table. It stays fast right where the others struggle — one huge video, a hundred photos, a 6 GB pile of files.
It doesn't stop at your Wi‑Fi
AirDrop is Apple-only. Quick Share skips iPhones. Local-network tools quit the moment you leave the house. SkipStone keeps going — same room or across the country, straight between your devices.
It just finishes
In our testing SkipStone completed every transfer — a single 3.6 GB video, a 6.4 GB batch, 100 photos at once. The others stalled, failed, or crawled.
Measured on a Wi‑Fi 7 network across a mix of phones, laptops, and PCs. Your speeds depend on your network.
