Continuo moves files between Macs over an encrypted bulk channel isolated from keyboard and mouse traffic. Received files are verified, quarantined, and kept inside a folder you control. Encrypted file transfer requires Pro; see Free vs Pro.
Drag across screens
With Drag files across screens enabled (Settings → Sharing), drag a file from Finder onto the remote Mac’s screen at a shared edge, the same edge you would cross with the cursor.
Notch drop zone
On supported Macs, a drop zone appears at the notch (or as a floating pill on non-notched displays) while you drag a supported item. Start dragging in Finder, move toward the notch, and drop on one paired Mac or All to send to every paired peer.
Toggle the zone under Settings → Sharing → Show notch drop zone.
Text and links dropped through the notch use a separate control channel with a 256 KB payload cap and up to 16 links per drop.
Where files land
Default receive folder: ~/Continuo in your home directory.
Continuo uses this folder instead of Downloads so macOS does not prompt for extra file-access permission on every receive. Change the path under Settings → Sharing → Receive folder.
After a file arrives
Under Sharing you can configure Auto-accept files (receive without a prompt each time), Notify on receive, Reveal received items in Finder after a notch drop, and Open received links for link drops.
Quarantine and verification
Every received file lands inside the configured receive folder only; path escape
attempts are refused. Each file gets macOS quarantine metadata
(com.apple.quarantine) and is checked with SHA-256; mismatches are discarded.
Size limits
Drag and notch file transfers are limited by available disk space, not a fixed Continuo cap. Clipboard-origin bulk receives are capped at 32 MB on the receiver.
