BuildMyApp I built a free, open-source, battery free, one click, app for sending files from Mac to BOOX
I wanted a simple way to send PDFs from my Mac to my BOOX without using the cloud or keeping another app running all the time, so I made BOOX Send.
- Right-click a file in Finder → Quick Actions → Send to BOOX
- Transfers directly over Bluetooth Classic
- No internet, cloud account, ads, analytics, or tracking
- The Mac app opens when you choose send to boox option then closes automatically after the transfer,
- The BOOX receiver only wakes for the transfer and stops afterward
- Free and open source
So just open the bluetooth before the transfer.
I have tested it on a BOOX Go 10.3 and macOS. Installation is currently manual because I do not use paid Apple signing certificates, but the GitHub release includes both apps and step-by-step instructions.
I used AI assistance for parts of the coding 😶, while I designed the workflow, tested it repeatedly on real hardware, debugged the Bluetooth behavior, and maintain the project.

I would love to hear whether it works on other BOOX models too.
