The first public preview: move files between an Android phone and a Mac, privately, on your own network or over a cable.

Added

  • Android app (Android 8.0 and later): pick one local folder and share it with your Mac while the app is open. Each start shows the phone's address, port, certificate fingerprint and a fresh pairing secret.
  • Mac app (macOS 13 and later): pair with the phone, then browse folders, download files to the Mac and upload files to the phone, with progress and cancel.
  • Private by design: every Wi-Fi request is encrypted with TLS, and the Mac checks the phone's certificate fingerprint before it sends anything. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.
  • Never overwrites: existing files are never replaced on either side, and interrupted transfers clean up after themselves.
  • USB File transfer on the Mac (beta): plug in the phone, choose File transfer, and press Connect over USB to browse and move files, like on Windows. No app needed on the phone.

Known limitations

  • This is a preview. It has passed automated tests but has not yet been verified on physical devices. Please report problems, following SECURITY.md for anything security related.
  • Pairing over Wi-Fi requires typing the address, port, fingerprint and secret.
  • The APK is signed with a build-machine key and the Mac app is not notarized; see the README for how to install and open them. If you installed an earlier test build, uninstall it first.
