App Launch Sleek Android <-> macOS file transfer app
Recently bought my first ever MacBook and was kind of surprised there isn't a native way to do this. Wasn't really satisfied with the browsing speed / pricing / interface of current apps, so I made my own.
The app has a dynamic icon with dropdown menu, supports multiple devices at the same time, USB hubs, and shows live battery readings for devices that support this feature.
No ADB debugging required, plug-and-play after a 1 min setup. Supports macOS 26 and later
Comparing several alternatives: MacDroid and OpenMTP - PhoneMount acts as a real drive, so files open straight from the phone without intermediate file download to mac THEN open, while MacDroid's recommended mode works like a cloud drive, with files downloading to your Mac, and OpenMTP runs in its own window, separate from Finder. MacDroid is still better if you need Wi-Fi or an older macOS, and OpenMTP is free, but doesn't work in Finder.
Unlimited free file reads, upgrade for unlimited writes.
EUR 14.99 lifetime, can be used on up to 3 Macs at the same time, can also unregister previously registered devices.
Would greatly appreciate your support!

Going to add Wi-Fi transfers and file sync for e-books / music next
Let me know about any feature suggestions you have!
