MacTransfer is a native Mac app that pairs with your Android phone over Wi-Fi or USB. Browse, transfer, and manage your phone's files like they live on your Mac.
A focused tool that does one job well.
Scan a QR code on your phone once. Your Mac and phone find each other automatically every time you open the app — no cables, no manual setup.
Mac on the left, phone on the right. Click, drag, or use shortcut buttons to jump to Camera, Downloads, Pictures, Documents, and more.
One click reveals every file modified in the last week, sorted newest first. No more digging through folders for that photo you just saved.
Use a cable for the fastest transfers, or pair over Wi-Fi for total convenience. Switch any time — your phone shows up the same way.
Pair your Pixel and your tablet. Switch between them in a dropdown. Each device remembers its own auth token securely in your Mac's Keychain.
Files transfer directly between your Mac and phone. Nothing routes through our servers, ever. We don't track usage. We can't see your files.
A first-time pairing flow as smooth as AirDrop should have been.
Download MacTransfer.dmg, drag it to Applications, open it.
Scan the install QR shown in the Mac app, or grab it from Google Play. Open the app and grant a few permissions.
Mac shows a pairing QR. Phone scans it. You're connected — and you stay connected the next time you open the app.
Click any file or folder, hit Transfer, watch the progress bar. That's it.
Free for casual use. Upgrade only if you transfer a lot.
Perfect for occasional transfers.
Pay once, use forever.
If you only need it for a project.

No, and there won't be. iOS doesn't allow background HTTP servers, doesn't expose its filesystem to third-party Mac apps, and doesn't have an ADB equivalent. AirDrop already solves Mac↔iPhone transfer for free. MacTransfer is for Android specifically.
No. Files transfer directly from your Mac to your phone over your Wi-Fi network, or directly through a USB cable. Nothing passes through our servers — we don't have any. The only thing we hold is your license key (issued by our payment processor) and the email address you used to buy.
250 MB and 5 transfers per day. Resets at midnight your local time. If you only move a handful of photos a week, you'll never see the limit.
Open the Companion app on the new network. Within ~10 seconds the Mac will rediscover it automatically — no re-pairing required. Your auth token persists.
Yes. We've tested on Samsung Galaxy A56, Pixel, and stock Android. Anything running Android 8 (Oreo) or newer should work.
Only for the optional USB cable mode. ADB is bundled inside the app — you don't need to install anything. If you only use Wi-Fi pairing, ADB is never invoked.
Yes. Each license activates up to 3 devices. Use the same key on a new Mac or after reinstalling. If you need more, email [email protected].
30-day money-back guarantee. If MacTransfer doesn't work for you, email us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund in full. No questions, no hassle.
