Android File Transfer is an open-source tool for transferring files between Android devices and macOS, offering a reliable alternative for users who need consistent file management across platforms. It supports MTP and FUSE integration, making it a versatile utility for frequent file transfers.

Transfers files from Android devices to macOS using the MTP protocol.

Maturity: The project is active with a strong community, though it has some unresolved issues that may affect usability.
