Send a tab to iPhone

Send the page you're reading on your Mac to your iPhone, or from your iPhone to your Mac. It opens there in the same Space it came from.

Send a tab from your Mac

1. Open the page you want to send.Any web page works. A file on your Mac can't be sent.
2. Choose File › Send Tab To.Then choose your iPhone from the list, such as Send to iPhone.
3. Pick it up on your iPhone.The page opens in Tern for iPhone, in the same Space, at the end of that Space's tabs.

To send a tab that isn't the one in front, right-click it in the sidebar and choose Send To.

If your iPhone isn't in the list, open Tern on it once, signed in to the same iCloud as your Mac. It appears in the list after that.

Send a tab from your iPhone

1. Open the page's menu.It's at the end of the address.
2. Choose Send to and your Mac.Each of your Macs with Tern is listed by name, such as Send to MacBook Pro.

A note at the top of your iPhone says it was sent. On the Mac, the page opens in its Space, with a note saying which device it came from. See Pages from iPhone for more.

How a tab travels

A sent tab goes through your own iCloud, so the other device doesn't need to be nearby or awake. It opens the next time Tern is open there, and only once.

• Only the address and title travel. Nothing from the page itself, and none of your sign-ins, goes with it.
• It opens in the Space it came from. If the other device doesn't have that Space, the page opens in the Space that's open there.
• It waits a day. A tab that hasn't been opened after a day, because the other device was off, is dropped.

Handoff

Tern also offers the tab in front to Handoff. When your iPhone and Mac are near each other, Tern's Handoff icon appears on the other device. Open it to carry on with the same page in the same Space.

Tern for iPhone is coming soon to the App Store. See Tern on iPhone.
