Hey Product Hunt 👋 I use an Android phone and a Mac. That combination is the one nobody builds for — Phone Link is Windows-only, KDE Connect wants a Linux desktop, and AirDrop wants you to buy an iPhone. For years my workflow was emailing files to myself. So I built Vianta. Pair once, and your two devices behave like one machine on your local network: 📁 File transfer — full-resolution photos, 4K video, entire folders, at LAN speed. No size limit. Free, forever. 📋 Universal clipboard — copy on one, paste on the other 🔔 Notification mirroring — see and dismiss Android notifications from your Mac 📸 Screenshot sync — phone screenshots land on your desktop instantly 🔋 Menu bar glance — phone battery and storage, always visible The part I care most about: there is no server. Nothing routes through a cloud, there's no account to create, and Apple's privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because none is. It works on hotel Wi-Fi with the internet completely down. Native on both sides — SwiftUI on Mac, Kotlin on Android. Built solo. One subscription unlocks Pro on both devices. I'd love to hear what breaks and what's missing. Especially from anyone else living in the Android + Mac gap — what's the thing you still do manually?

If you use an Android phone with a Mac, how do you move files between them?

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?
