Fast phone send
Capture, pick, or share an image into Dev Drop without leaving your existing iPhone workflow.
Phone to desktop, without the detour
Send images from your phone and have them arrive in the right desktop folder automatically.
Dev Drop moves images from your camera, photo library, or share sheet into a registered desktop companion that saves them in the folder you chose.
No cable shuffle. No emailing yourself files. No cloud gallery to clean up later.
Temporary private relay
Uploads wait in authenticated storage only until the desktop companion saves them into your chosen folder.

SavedDesktop companionWatching for uploads
The app keeps checking for pending images so the handoff feels immediate instead of manual.
Direct folder delivery
The desktop companion picks up the upload and saves it into the folder you already chose.
Temporary relay only
Private cloud storage handles the handoff, then gets cleaned up after delivery or expiry.
How it works
A short transfer path from capture to desktop delivery.
The cloud step exists only to bridge the phone and the computer. The product is designed around getting the file into your local workflow quickly.
Transfer path
Select on phone, hand off through the temporary relay, let the desktop companion pick it up, and save directly into the folder you already use.
01
Step 01
Choose or capture an image
Start from the camera, photo library, or the iPhone share sheet and add an optional note if it helps the handoff.
02
Step 02
Send it through a private temporary relay
Dev Drop uploads the image to authenticated, private temporary storage while it waits for pickup.
03
Step 03
Let the desktop companion claim it
Your registered desktop app sees the pending upload, downloads it, and routes it into the destination you configured.
04
Step 04
Finish with a local save, not a cloud archive
The image lands in your chosen folder, and the relay copy is cleaned up after delivery or expiry.
Feature grid
One transfer path, covered from phone input to desktop save.
The iPhone app handles selection and send. The desktop companion handles pickup, queue visibility, and delivery into the folder you already chose.
Phone library
Pick from your iPhone library
Choose an existing image inside Dev Drop when the file is already on your phone and needs to land on desktop next.
Camera capture
Capture inside Dev Drop
Use the built-in camera action when you want a fresh shot to move straight into the transfer flow.
Share sheet
Send from the share sheet
Push images into Dev Drop from other iPhone apps without first saving duplicate copies or detouring through downloads.
Optional context
Add an optional note
Attach a short note when the desktop side needs context, a reminder, or a quick filename hint.
Desktop setup
Choose the desktop folder once
Set the destination in the companion app so new images arrive where your local workflow already starts.
Queue visibility
Keep pending uploads visible
Track what is still waiting for pickup instead of losing handoffs inside a generic transfer history.
Auto-save
Auto-deliver into that folder
Let the desktop companion keep claiming and saving new uploads so the handoff feels close to instant.
Why Dev Drop
Built for people who want the file, not the transfer ritual.
Dev Drop exists for the moment when an image needs to leave your phone and show up in the correct desktop folder without inboxes, chat threads, or manual cleanup in the middle.
A cleaner handoff than ad hoc phone-to-desktop habits
Ad hoc habit
- Send the image to yourself, then download it again later.
- Lose time digging through inboxes, chat threads, or temporary folders.
- Move the file into the real project directory after the fact.
Dev Drop flow
- Send directly from the camera, library, or share sheet.
- Let the desktop companion see the pending upload and pick it up.
- Start work with the file already in the folder you chose.
Less friction at the moment you need the file
The product is built to shorten the handoff, not add another stop where the image can get buried.
Desktop-first delivery
The destination is a real local folder for active work, not a feed, shared thread, or permanent online shelf.
Focused productivity tool
Dev Drop stays narrow on purpose: phone to desktop image transfer with less clutter, less sorting, and less rework.
Privacy and temporary transfer
A temporary relay, not a cloud gallery.
Dev Drop uses Supabase-backed sign-in, transfer records, and private temporary storage so the phone and desktop apps can meet in the middle without turning your images into a permanent online library.
What that means in practice
The cloud step exists only to bridge the send from your phone to the registered desktop companion that is watching for it.
Your desktop app downloads the file into the folder you chose. After delivery, the relay copy is removed. If the file is never picked up, it expires instead of sitting online indefinitely.
Trust block
Transfer lifecycle
A short path from upload to local save to cleanup.
- 01
Signed-in upload
The phone app sends the file through your signed-in Dev Drop account and creates the record the desktop companion watches for.
- 02
Desktop pickup and folder save
Your registered desktop app downloads the pending file and saves it into the local folder you already configured.
- 03
Cleanup after delivery or expiry
Delivered files are removed from the relay. Files that are never picked up expire instead of becoming a long-term archive.
Supabase-backed account and transfer records
Supabase handles sign-in and the transfer record that links the phone upload to the desktop companion that should receive it.
Private temporary storage
Files wait in private storage only while the desktop app needs time to download them. The storage is for relay, not browsing.
Local delivery stays the goal
Dev Drop is built to get the image into your desktop folder quickly, then clear the relay copy after delivery or expiry.
