AirDrop for Windows — The Browser-Based Alternative

No iCloud, no cables, no accounts. Just a browser and a QR code.

AirDrop is one of the best features of the Apple ecosystem — but it only works between Apple devices. If you use an iPhone and a Windows PC, you are left without a built-in way to share text and links between them. AmanMaps fills that gap: a free, browser-based tool that works like AirDrop but runs on any device with a modern browser.

How to use AmanMaps as AirDrop for Windows

  1. 1

    Open AmanMaps in Edge or Chrome on your PC

    Both browsers fully support WebRTC. No installation needed.

  2. 2

    Scan the QR code with your iPhone

    The built-in camera app on iOS detects the QR code automatically.

  3. 3

    Share text instantly

    Type or paste on your iPhone — it appears on your PC in real time. No cloud, no storage.

What makes this different from other solutions?

  • No iCloud for Windows: No need to install Apple software on your PC.
  • No third-party apps: No Pushbullet, no KDE Connect, no Snapdrop account.
  • No cloud upload: Unlike email or notes sync, your text never touches a server.
  • Works anywhere: Not limited to local networks. Share from anywhere with internet.

What about Android?

AmanMaps works with Android too. The process is identical: open the site on your computer, scan with your Android phone's camera, and start sharing. Google Chrome on Android supports WebRTC natively.

Frequently asked questions

Does AmanMaps transfer files like AirDrop?

AmanMaps currently supports text and links, not file transfer. For text sharing between iPhone and Windows, it works exactly like AirDrop's text sharing feature.

Is it secure?

Yes. The connection is direct device-to-device via WebRTC. The encryption key is in the URL fragment, which browsers never expose to servers.
