Schick5AppIcon.png

Why

http://xkcd.com/949/ I wanted a simple and fast way to exchange small files, like Word-Documents, Pictures, URLs, etc. iChat and similar tools need much configuration and registering - I wanted a solution that would "just work". I used to use Mac OS X' FileSharing and the Mac OS X DropBox, but I didn't get notified, and I have to mount the other user's Home DropBox by hand. AirDrop does most of this quite good, but has some limitations.

Key Features

  • Bonjour-enabled[1]
  • No configuration necessary
  • Automatically fetches username and user image from your Macintosh Preferences / Address Book
  • Lets you transfer files to Macs in your local network as well as in other subnets
  • Lets you browse and get files from Macs in your local[2] network
  • largefile support[3]
  • IPv6 enabled
  • Creation of groups of peers (new in Schick 5.0)
  • Sending of files to whole groups of peers (new in Schick 5.0)
  • Cleaned-up interface (new in Schick 5.0)
  • Grouping peers by type (bonjour, manually added or custom groups) (new in Schick 5.0)

System Requirements

Having Problems?

Schick doesn't fit your needs? Want to try another tool?

Take a look at DropCopy or Desktop Transporter!


  1. Bonjour==ZeroConf==mDNS
  2. and, as an experimental feature, even in an LAN/WAN with several broadcast domains (not over internet, maybe in the future, when everyone uses IPv6)
  3. Meaning files bigger than 2GB
  4. That means, a 64bit processor. If you have an older Mac, please see: Software Projects That Are Not Longer Supported
  5. including Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" AND 10.10 "Yosemite"!
  6. usually, every standard Ethernet or WiFi Network can handle Bonjour, but I encountered trouble on several occasions. So, if it's the same to you, I'd recommend using ethernet instead of WiFi.
