# Wish your Mac and iPhone had a more collaborative relationship…? Droplet can help

You know the file. It’s that same file. Over and over and over. You just seem to have saved in that one spot that you always forget. Every time you want to use it you have to go dig it up again. And again. And again. If only you had a remote control for your Mac that took you right to that file immediately. Download [Droplet](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/droplet-launch-sidekick/id6754230465) to your iPhone and you will.

> Droplet removes the small delays between deciding what you want and getting there. The board keeps the next step in front of you, and the dashboard helps you see which paths are actually saving time.

It’s a new Mac-and-iPhone app from Portland’s own [Corey Lofthus](https://www.linkedin.com/in/corey-lofthus/) that lets you save your most-used Mac apps, files, folders, links, and actions into simple boards on your iPhone. Which you can then use to launch them on your Mac. All with a single tap.

It works over a fast local connection, with both devices on the same network and the app living on both your Mac and your phone. That’s it. No wall of settings. No automation to wire up. It just works.

So if you’re interested in making your personal Apple ecosystem a little more systemic, check out [Droplet](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/droplet-launch-sidekick/id6754230465).
