About Hyperduck
Quickly send a link from your iOS device to your Mac.
It provides a “Send to Mac” button in the share sheet of any app that provides a URL.
For example, share a link from Safari on your iPhone or iPad and have it open in the default browser on your Mac.
You can send a link even if your iOS device and/or Mac are offline. The link will be sent and received the next time the devices are online. The link will never be lost.
Your iOS device and Mac must have iCloud enabled and be signed into the same Apple ID account.
My personal use-case is that I often discover cool stuff when I check Twitter on the go and I want to dig deeper into it later on my Mac. I have tried Instapaper, Pocket, Safari Reading List, iCloud Tabs, and more. The problem with them all is that I forget to check them.
You can even use this app to trigger shortcuts on your Mac from your iOS device. See the website for more info.
