Installation

Get started in under a minute.

1

Download the .dmg

Click the download button above. The file is about 156 KB — it downloads instantly.

2

Mount and copy to Applications

Double-click QuickShare.dmg to mount it. You'll see QuickShare.app inside the mounted volume. Drag it into your Applications folder in Finder (or copy it via Terminal: cp -R /Volumes/QuickShare/QuickShare.app /Applications/).

3

Allow the app past Gatekeeper

Since QuickShare isn't notarized by Apple, macOS will block it on first launch. Pick one of these methods to allow it (you only need to do this once):

Recommended — Terminal: Open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr /Applications/QuickShare.app

This removes the quarantine flag that macOS adds to downloaded files. Then double-click to launch normally.

Alternative A: Right-click (or Control-click) QuickShare.app in Applications, then click Open. In the warning dialog, click Open again.

Alternative B: Try to open QuickShare normally (it will be blocked). Then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway next to the QuickShare message.

4

You're ready

QuickShare opens with a drop zone. Drag a file in or click Choose File. The share link is copied to your clipboard automatically. You'll also see a QuickShare icon in the menu bar for quick access to your recent shares.

Why does macOS block it? Apple requires developers to pay $99/year to notarize apps. QuickShare is free, so we skip that cost. The app is ad-hoc signed — completely safe. The source code is open and the only server it talks to is our Cloudflare Worker for file uploads. You only need to allow it once; after that it opens normally.
