## Why
Macs have never been good at talking to Android phones. The file-transfer tool
Google used to offer for the Mac has been discontinued, and what is left tends to be
slow, dependent on extra drivers, or buried in a cloud-sync app you never wanted.
**Android Rapid Transfer** is the app that job deserves: a native SwiftUI app with
its own MTP engine written in Swift. There are no drivers or kernel extensions to
install, no accounts, and no cloud. Your files go straight from the phone to the
Mac and back over the cable, and the whole thing is open source under the MIT
License.
Linux has the same problem in a different shape: phones mount through the file
manager, copies are slow, and a phone held by one program can't be used by another.
The same engine and app logic also run on Linux, with a native GTK 4 and libadwaita
interface (see Linux).
## Features
- **Your phone, next to your Mac.** Browse the phone in a fast list or grid, with
 your Mac's folders alongside it in the same window. Folders slide in as you open
 them; breadcrumbs, back and up work the way Finder does.
- **Copy either way in one click.** Select files and click **Copy to Phone** or
 **Copy to Computer**, drag them to and from Finder, or collect files from
 several folders with **Add to Copy Queue** and paste them where they belong.
- **Live progress you can trust.** Every copy shows files done, bytes, speed and
 time left, puts overall progress in the Dock, and ends with a small
 celebration. It keeps running in the background and posts a notification when
 it finishes while you're in another app.
- **Stop means stop.** Stop takes effect straight away, even in the middle of a
 large file, and leaves no half-written files on either side. Interrupted
 copies can be resumed; name clashes can be replaced, skipped or kept side by
 side.
- **Manage files on both sides.** Create folders, rename, delete (to the Trash
 on the Mac; permanently on the phone, after asking), see file info and show
 hidden files.
- **Copy by date range.** Pick a range and copy just the photos and videos from
 it, with a live preview while the phone is scanned.
- **Knows when you plug in.** The phone is picked up as soon as it's connected,
 with a connection screen that walks you through unlocking it and choosing File
 transfer, and a friendly note when something needs your attention.
- **Every storage.** Switch between internal storage and an SD card, with free
 space shown for each.
- **At home on macOS.** Light and dark appearance, full keyboard operation,
 VoiceOver labels and announcements throughout, and every anim
