Hyperduck
Hyperduck is a link-sending utility that opens URLs shared from iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision on your Mac using iCloud sync.
What is Hyperduck?
Hyperduck is a native Apple-platform utility that helps you send links from iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision devices to a Mac, where they open automatically in your browser. It is designed for people who regularly discover articles, videos, documents, or web pages on mobile and want to continue on macOS without copying links manually. The app works through the system share sheet on supported mobile devices and uses iCloud syncing so links can still arrive when devices reconnect later. It supports common workflows such as sending reading material to your Mac, triggering URL-based actions, and fitting into Shortcuts-based automations. Hyperduck is published by Sindresorhus and is focused on one job: moving links from Apple mobile devices to a Mac quickly and with minimal friction.
Key features
- Send links from the iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS share sheet to your Mac
- Open shared URLs automatically in your Mac browser
- Keep links queued through iCloud until devices are back online

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Hyperduck uses iCloud to pass links between your Apple devices, which is normal for its purpose. It handles shared URLs and may interact with the share sheet, Shortcuts, and your default browser on the Mac that receives links. Removing the app stops this send-to-Mac workflow, but it does not create the kind of broad system access or intrusive background behavior that would be unusual for a link-sharing utility.
Recommendation: Keep Hyperduck if you use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision device to send web links to your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use that cross-device workflow, understanding that shared links will stop opening on your Mac until you reinstall it.
