LinkFlick switches Apple Magic accessories between Macs
LinkFlick is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that enables one-click switching of Apple Magic accessories between multiple Macs without requiring shared Apple IDs. The app orchestrates Bluetooth connections over the local network via Bonjour, allowing users to switch peripherals between machines using global hotkeys, menu bar controls, or Siri.
Apple's strict iCloud ecosystem constraints continue to penalize users with multi-account setups, making targeted, single-purpose utilities like LinkFlick indispensable for cross-device workflows. The utility addresses a major gap in Universal Control, where separate work and personal Apple IDs break native continuity and force users into manual Bluetooth re-pairing. Leveraging Bonjour over the local network alongside global hotkeys and Siri support reduces peripheral switching to an instant shortcut. Opting for a one-time purchase model rather than a recurring subscription fits utility software expectations, though deep hooks into Bluetooth management risk breaking when Apple updates core macOS stacks.
