Type2Phone
Type2Phone is a lightweight clipboard and file synchronisation utility for macOS that bridges iOS and Mac devices over a local network. It allows users to copy text or files on one device and paste them seamlessly on another, reducing friction during cross-device workflows. The app handles clipboard sync with low latency and minimal memory overhead, and uses encrypted local-network communication rather than cloud relays. It is designed for users who frequently switch between iPhone, iPad, and Mac and want faster, more private handoff than native Continuity features provide.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether Type2Phone has a native Apple Silicon build. The app is still actively maintained and available from the official type2phone.com website, but the search results do not explicitly state whether native or Universal Binary support has been added. Contact the developer directly at the type2phone.com site to confirm whether a native build exists before September 2028, when Apple will remove Rosetta 2 from macOS 28 — an Intel-only version will stop launching on that release. If the developer confirms no native build is planned, consider switching to Apple's native Continuity features (built into modern macOS and iOS) or to another actively maintained clipboard-sync tool with confirmed native Apple Silicon support. The good news is that Type2Phone is clearly under active development, so an update to native support may well arrive before the deadline if you ask.
