Handshaker is a desktop application designed to bridge the gap between Android devices and macOS.

  • Wi-Fi and USB device connectivity
  • Intuitive file browser with drag-and-drop support
  • Direct access to photos, videos, and documents
  • Screen mirroring capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Transferring large media files from a Mac to an Android phone
  • Managing the Android device's file system without using the command line
  • Creating backups of important data from the phone to a computer
Alternatives:
  • Android File Transfer – The official but often unreliable and limited utility from Google.
  • OpenMTP – A popular open-source alternative focused on fast, direct file transfers.
