Go to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/xvoland/airdrop/releases)\n2. Download the latest `airdrop_darwin_arm64.tar.gz` (for Apple Silicon) or `airdrop_darwin_x86_64.tar.gz` (for Intel)\n3. Extract the file\n4. Run it!\n\nOr use terminal:\n\n```bash\n# For Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)\ncurl -L -o airdrop.tar.gz https://github.com/xvoland/airdrop/releases/download/v0.3.6/airdrop_darwin_arm64.tar.gz\ntar -xzf airdrop.tar.gz\n./airdrop yourfile.pdf\n```\n\n## How to Use 📖\n\n### Basic Example: Send One File\n\nLet's say you have a file called `photo.jpg` and want to send it to your iPhone:\n\n```bash\nairdrop photo.jpg\n```\n\nThat's it! Airdrop will open and let you choose where to send the file.\n\n### Send Multiple Files\n\nYou can send several files at once:\n\n```bash\nairdrop photo.jpg document.pdf screenshot.png\n```\n\n### Send via Pipe (Advanced)\n\nIf you want to send content that comes from another program:\n\n```bash\ncat myfile.pdf | airdrop\n```\n\nThis sends the content of `myfile.pdf` through AirDrop.\n\n## Command Options ⚙️\n\n### Help\n\nSee all options:\n```bash\nairdrop --help\n```\n\n### Version\n\nCheck which version you have:\n```bash\nairdrop --version\n```\n\n### Verbose Mode\n\nWant to see more details about what's happening?\n```bash\nairdrop -v file.pdf\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting 🔧\n\n### \"Permission denied\" or \"Blocked by macOS\"\n\nmacOS has a security feature called Gatekeeper that blocks apps from unknown developers. If this happens:\n\n**Solution 1: Run this command in terminal**\n```bash\nxattr -cr $(which airdrop)\n```\n\n**Solution 2: Allow manually**\n1. Open **System Settings** → **Privacy \u0026 Security**\n2. Look for the message about blocked airdrop\n3. Click **Allow anyway**\n4. Try running airdrop again\n\n### \"AirDrop failed\"\n\nMake sure:\n- ✅ AirDrop is turned ON on your Mac (Control Center → AirDrop)\n- ✅ AirDrop is turned ON on your receiving device (iPhone/iPad)\n- ✅ Devices are close to each other\n- ✅ You accepted the incoming request on the receiving device\n\n## Requirements 📋\n\n- macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later\n- AirDrop enabled on your Mac\n- Receiving device nearby (iPhone, iPad, or another Mac)\n\n## Building from Source (For Developers) 👨‍💻\n\nWant to build it yourself? Here's how:\n\n```bash\n# 1. Clone the project\ngit clone https://github.com/xvoland/airdrop.git\ncd airdrop\n\n# 2. Build it\nmake\n\n# 3. Run it!\n./airdrop file.pdf\n```\n\n### Building for Different Macs\n\n```bash\n# For Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)\nmake all ARCH=arm64\n\n# For Intel Mac\nmake all ARCH=x86_64\n```\n\n## License 📄\n\nMIT License — see [LICENSE](LICENSE)\n\n## Donation\n\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll keep improving the app no matter what because I love seeing people use it to reach their goals.
