HandShaker
HandShaker is a file management utility developed by Smartisan Technology that enables data transfer between Mac computers and Android devices. It provides a clean interface for browsing, managing and transferring files from Android storage including photos, videos, music, documents and other data. HandShaker supports both wired USB connection and wireless transfer via QR code pairing, allowing users to access internal storage and SD card contents on their Android phones directly from their Mac.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionHandShaker is built exclusively for Intel architecture (x86-64) and has not been updated to a native Apple Silicon build. The application's last recorded version is 2.1.1, built against an older macOS SDK (10.12), and search results show no evidence of active development, native Apple Silicon support, or recent updates from Smartisan. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs but will stop functioning entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than two years from now. If you rely on HandShaker for Android file transfers, you should begin planning an alternative workflow. For Mac users needing Android file management, consider Dr.Fone - Phone Transfer (a maintained commercial alternative that supports Apple Silicon), Android File Transfer (Google's official tool, though basic), or the web-based Android backup and sync features built into Google One and Samsung SmartSwitch if your phone manufacturer offers them. Alternatively, using wireless transfer protocols like AirDroid or direct cloud syncing (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) can replicate HandShaker's core functionality without requiring a dedicated Mac app.
