install

homebrew:

brew install mihaicrisan04/tap/airdrop

from source:

git clone https://github.com/mihaicrisan04/airdrop
cd airdrop
mise run install

both put ad on your PATH.

why

other CLI airdrop tools we tested hang after the picker dismisses. this one ships as a proper .app bundle so sharingd keeps the share session alive. details in CLAUDE.md.

development

mise is recommended. tasks are described in mise.toml.
