HandShaker
HandShaker is a file management utility designed to help Mac users easily manage and transfer files with their Android devices. Created by Smartisan, the app allows users to browse, transfer, and organize photos, videos, music, and other files between their Mac and Android phone or tablet. It supports both wired USB connections and wireless connectivity for convenient file management. The app is particularly useful for Android users who need a reliable way to sync and manage their device content from their Mac, similar to how iTunes works for iOS devices.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionHandShaker appears to be discontinued and unmaintained according to Homebrew's cask catalog, which marks it as deprecated. While the Homebrew data shows a version 2.5.6 exists (newer than your 2.1.1), the developer Smartisan has largely ceased active development. For a native Apple Silicon alternative, consider Android File Transfer, which is Google's official solution for managing Android devices on Mac and offers similar core functionality for file transfers and device management. Another excellent option is OpenMTP, which is open-source, actively maintained, and specifically designed for modern Macs including Apple Silicon.
