SendToDesktop enables SSH-based file transfers between jailbroken iPhones and computers

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated February 28, 2022

One of the small things I appreciate the most about being a Mac user is that I can easily AirDrop files from my iPhone to my computer and vice versa in some instances. Unfortunately, this process isn’t so cut and dry if you’re a Linux or Windows user, as both of these operating systems lack AirDrop support.

For the reason mentioned above, I would highly recommend a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SendToDesktop by iOS developer Sudhip for both Linux and Windows users, as it can make sharing files from your iPhone or iPad to your personal computer a breeze.

If you answered yes to that question, then we think you’re going to love a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called ForwardNotifier by iOS developer Greg0109. This tweak sets up a communication line between your iOS handset and your Linux, Mac, or Windows PC so that notifications appear directly on your desktop.
