AirSync

Brings iPhone-style Continuity features — clipboard sync, notification mirroring, file transfer — to Android and Mac.

AirSync recreates the Continuity features Apple reserves for iPhone owners, but for Android — mirror notifications, reply to messages, transfer files, and sync your clipboard between your Mac and Android phone over your local network.

Why it makes the list

Mac and Android don't talk to each other out of the box, and most bridging apps are clunky or cloud-dependent. AirSync works entirely on your local network, mirrors your phone's notifications into macOS, and lets you reply, copy, and drag-and-drop files both ways without touching your phone.

Standout features

  • Notification mirroring — see and reply to Android notifications from your Mac
  • Clipboard sync — copy on one device, paste on the other
  • File transfer — drag files between Mac and Android over the local network
  • Screen mirroring — view and control your Android screen from the desktop
  • Local-network only — no cloud relay, no account required

Pricing

Completely free and open source.
