Samsung Flow for Mac
There's no Samsung Flow for Mac. There is this
If you searched "Samsung Flow Mac," here's the straight answer: Samsung Flow runs only on Windows PCs and Galaxy tablets — Samsung has never shipped a macOS version. To link a Galaxy with a MacBook, use Syncsaurs: screen mirroring with control, texts, notifications, files and clipboard, photo auto-import, and phone-as-webcam — everything Flow does and more, on the Mac.
For Galaxy owners who chose a MacBook
Samsung wired the Galaxy ecosystem to Windows: Samsung Flow, and the Galaxy-specific perks of Windows Phone Link, are all Windows stories. Galaxy owners who picked a MacBook fall between two worlds — Apple looks after iPhones, Samsung looks after Windows.
Syncsaurs is built for exactly this combination. It covers Flow's core (file transfer, notification sync, shared clipboard) and adds what Flow never had: low-latency screen mirroring with mouse/keyboard control, texting from the Mac, and using the phone camera as a Mac webcam.
How is this different from Smart View?
Galaxy's Smart View is built for casting to TVs — it can't target a Mac, and casting is view-only anyway. Syncsaurs mirroring is interactive: clicks become touches and your Mac keyboard types straight into the phone, in a regular Mac window.

Frequently asked questions
Is there really no way to install Samsung Flow on a Mac?
Correct — there isn't. Samsung Flow ships only for Windows (Microsoft Store) and Galaxy tablets; Samsung has never released a macOS build. On a Mac, a third-party integration app like Syncsaurs is the answer.
Does it work with Galaxy-specific features?
Syncsaurs works with any Android 11+ phone and carries extra optimization for Galaxy. Mirroring, texts, notifications and files are all fully supported on Galaxy devices.
Do I need a Samsung account?
No — there are no accounts at all. Your Mac and phone connect directly over your Wi‑Fi, and data moves only between the two devices.
What about Quick Share?
Quick Share's official desktop app is Windows-only too, so it won't help on a Mac. For moving files, Syncsaurs' drag-and-drop transfer and photo auto-import fill that role.
Can I try it free?
Yes. Connecting and screen mirroring (standard resolution) with control are free. Texts, notifications, files and webcam unlock with Pro.
