From your Mac

Sendoff vs the Mac Share menu.

The Share menu asks how you want to send. Sendoff asks who it's for.

How the Share menu works

  1. Select the file in Finder and click Share in the toolbar. On the desktop, Control-click the file and choose Share.
  2. Choose an app: Mail, Messages, AirDrop and others.
  3. That app opens with the file attached. Add the person, then send.

When the Share menu is the better choice

  • It’s built in and free, and it works in most apps, not just Finder.
  • You’re sending somewhere other than a person, like Notes or Reminders.
  • You’re sending to someone new, or only once in a while.
  • You want to write a longer message before it goes.

When Sendoff is the better choice

  • You send to the same few people often. Sendoff starts from them, ranked by how often you send.
  • You don’t want to remember who gets email and who gets iMessage. Sendoff remembers each person’s channel. Tab switches it.
  • You’d rather not leave the keyboard: drop the file, type drop the file, type “acc”, Enter, Enter.ldquo;accdrop the file, type “acc”, Enter, Enter.rdquo; for your accountant, Enter, Enter.
  • The file is too big for Gmail. Sendoff checks first and sends it by iMessage if that person has it.
