Links, addresses, codes and messages move between your phone and your Mac, in both directions. No emailing yourself, no chat with just you in it.
Want a heads-up? Mellan can show a quiet notification when something arrives from your phone
A glance is enough
Card payments, sign-in codes, deliveries: the things only your phone hears about appear on your Mac, so you can decide what needs you without reaching for it. You choose which apps get through.
Read on your Mac, reply on your phone
Out of Wi-Fi?
Still online
Turn on your phone’s hotspot from the Mac menu bar. Your Mac joins it on its own, and your phone stays in your pocket.
The menu shows your phone’s signal and battery, too
Nothing in between
Your clipboard and notifications go straight from one device to the other over encrypted Bluetooth.
No server in the middle, and no account for either app.
Mellan is Swedish for “between”
The little things, too
- Lives in the menu bar. No Dock icon, no window to manage. Your phone is always one click away.
- Battery and signal at a glance. See your phone’s charge and whether it’s on Wi-Fi, LTE or 5G without picking it up.
- Ready when your Mac is. Turn on Launch at Login and Mellan is running whenever your Mac is.
- Your apps, your call. Pick exactly which phone apps can put a notification on your Mac.
- Faces you recognize. Notifications arrive with the app’s icon and the sender’s picture, so you know who it is at a glance.
- Works with your phone locked. No need to wake it or unlock it. It can stay in your pocket, screen off.
- Works both ways. Copy on your Mac and paste on your phone just as easily.
- No Wi-Fi needed. Your devices talk over Bluetooth, so it keeps working on the train or in a café.
- Paired securely. A six-digit code on both screens confirms it’s your phone, and everything travels encrypted.

Before you buy
Will it work with my Mac and phone?
Mellan supports macOS 13 or later and Android 10 or later. Both devices need Bluetooth and must be nearby. One Mac pairs with one phone; pairing a different device replaces the existing pair. Bluetooth compatibility varies between devices. For questions about your setup, email help@mellan.app before buying.
Can I move Mellan to a replacement Mac?
Yes. Remove your old Mac on the licence page, then enter the same key on your replacement Mac. A $25 purchase covers one Mac.
To prevent repeated sharing of a key, you can free as many Mac slots as your licence covers in any 30 days and one hour. If you need another replacement sooner, email help@mellan.app.
What does setup involve?
Install Mellan on both devices, pair over Bluetooth, and confirm the matching code. Allow Bluetooth access, notification access for mirroring, and background activity on Android to keep the connection running.
For automatic clipboard sharing from Android and hotspot control, install Mellan from Google Play and install Shizuku. Start Shizuku’s service and grant Mellan permission. Restart that service after rebooting your phone.
Can I share photos or files?
Clipboard sharing supports plain text: links, addresses, codes, and messages, up to 32 KB. Mellan does not transfer photos, files, or formatted text.
On Android 13 and later, automatic sharing skips text the source app marks as sensitive, such as passwords, unless you choose to include it. Your Mac marks it as concealed on the clipboard, and any notification it shows leaves the text out.
Can I reply to messages from my Mac?
You can read your phone’s notifications on your Mac. Replying to messages happens on your phone. Mellan does not mirror your phone’s screen or run Android apps on your Mac.
Do my clipboard and notifications pass through a server?
No. That content travels directly between your nearby devices over an encrypted Bluetooth connection. You do not need an account to use the apps.
How does the 7-day refund work?
Buy Mellan and use it with your own Mac and phone. If it isn’t right for you, email help@mellan.app within 7 days of purchase with your order number for a full refund.
