Lives in the menubar
No window to manage, no dock icon. filefling waits quietly until you need it.
macOS menubar utility · beta
Fling macOS screenshots
straight to your AI coding agents.
Screenshots are the fast path, but any file rides the same wire — sent from your menubar to the remote box your AI coding agent runs on over SSH, with a path, Markdown snippet, or prompt copied back, ready to paste.

How filefling works
- 01 ⌘⇧4
Capture
Take a screenshot the way you always do, or drop any file onto filefling.
- 02 ⌘⇧F
filefling
Preview the latest screenshot, pick the destination, then send over SSH/SFTP.
- 03 ⌘V
Paste
A path, Markdown snippet, or AI-agent prompt is already on your clipboard.
why it stays out of the way
Small on purpose.
Guided SSH setup
First-run onboarding saves your destination and runs a real test upload before you rely on it.
SSH config aware
Pick concrete hosts from ~/.ssh/config to fill HostName, User, Port, and IdentityFile.
Multiple destinations
Keep personal, work, and VPS destinations separate, each with its own remote path and clipboard template.
AI-agent prompts
Copy the raw remote path, a Markdown snippet, or a reusable AI-agent prompt with tokens like {{remotePath}}.
Screenshot preview
See the latest screenshot thumbnail, name, time, and size before you send.
Useful history
Search recent sends, copy raw paths, retry failures, send again, reveal local files, or delete one item.
Host-key protection
Trust-on-first-use host keys include fingerprints, mismatch warnings, and a way to forget stale keys.
Honest about failure
When a send breaks, filefling maps SSH and file errors to messages that tell you what to fix.
Download the macOS beta.
Set up once, test the connection, then fling screenshots and files into the remote AI coding workflow you already use. The current build is an unsigned macOS beta.
