This combination seems to fall through every crack. Phone Link is Windows-only, KDE Connect assumes a Linux desktop, and AirDrop assumes you bought an iPhone.
For years my answer was genuinely just emailing files to myself, or a USB cable when the file was too big. Eventually I got annoyed enough to build something for it Vianta pairs the two devices over local Wi-Fi so files, clipboard and notifications move directly between them, no cloud in the middle. It's launching here soon.
But I'm curious whether everyone else has quietly solved this some smarter way I missed. Cloud folder that syncs both ways? Telegram saved messages? Something self-hosted?
Pair your Android phone with your Mac over your own Wi-Fi. Unlimited file transfer, universal clipboard, notification mirroring, screenshot sync, and phone battery in your menu bar. No cloud, no account, no data collected. Everything stays on your devices.
