    Flying Carpet moves files between your Mac and phones or computers when sharing tools fall short, for example between a Mac and an Android phone or a Windows PC. It creates its own direct wireless link or uses a network both devices already share. It suits anyone who often swaps photos, videos and folders across mixed devices.

    Key Features

    • Sends and receives files between Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS devices
    • Hotspot mode where one device creates the wireless link, with no router needed
    • Shared Network mode for devices already on the same WiFi or wired network
    • Transfers are encrypted and guarded by a password made for each session
    • Sending a folder recreates that folder with its contents on the other device

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site by opening the releases page of the project.
    2. Download the macOS zip file, open it, and place the app in your Applications folder.
    3. Install the app on your other device too, then pick send or receive on each side.

    System Requirements

    Your Mac needs working wireless networking for hotspot mode, or a shared network with the other device for Shared Network mode. Check your macOS release in About This Mac, and update the app on both devices first.

    FAQs

    Does Flying Carpet need the internet?

    No. Transfers travel directly between devices over a local wireless link or your own network, so no internet connection is required.

    Why do both devices need version 10?

    Version 10 changed how transfers and encryption work, and the developer states that version 10 devices cannot transfer with version 9 or earlier.

    Is Flying Carpet free?

    Yes. The app is free and open source, and the desktop builds are published on the project releases page alongside the mobile store listings.

    Mac Utilities • Updated Aug 8, 2026

    Logi Options+ is the companion app Logitech provides for many of its mice, keyboards, lights, webcams and presentation remotes. Instead of accepting the default behaviour of each device, you can shape buttons, keys and scrolling around the work you actually do. It suits anyone who uses a supported Logitech mouse or keyboard daily and wants it to feel personal rather than generic.

    Key Features

    • Customise mouse buttons and keyboard keys with actions you choose yourself
    • Adjust pointer speed and scrolling behaviour for each supported device
    • Use Logitech Flow to move the cursor and files between computers
    • Create Smart Actions that run a short sequence of steps from one press
    • Check battery levels and install firmware updates for connected devices

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Logitech device appears on the supported list for the app.
    2. Download from the official site and run the Mac installer from Logitech.
    3. Open the app, connect your device, and follow the prompts to grant the permissions macOS asks for.

    System Requirements

    Logitech lists current builds for macOS 14 or later. A supported Logitech device is also needed, since the app has nothing to configure without one. Confirm your version in About This Mac before installing.

    FAQs

    Is Logi Options+ free to use?

    Yes. Logitech offers the app at no cost for owners of supported devices, and you download it from Logitech rather than from a store.

    Does it replace the older Logitech Options app?

    For supported devices, yes. It is the current app Logitech points people to, though a few older models still rely on the earlier software.

    Why does the app ask for permissions on my Mac?

    macOS protects input monitoring and accessibility. The app needs those permissions so custom buttons and gestures work across the system and in other apps.

    No. Exposure works where your photos already sit on disk, so you can browse and edit without building a catalog.

    Can I use it without Photoshop or Lightroom?

    Yes. It is a complete standalone editor and organizer. The plug in mode is an extra option, not a requirement.

    Is it a subscription?

    No. You can select only the items you want. Epson suggests the essential product updates, but the choice for each listed item stays with you.

    Does it keep a MacBook awake with the lid closed?
