Files

Drag it out.
Any size.

Drop a video from your phone straight into Finder. DroidDisk promises the file to your Mac and copies it only when you let go, so a 4 GB recording drags as easily as a photo.

Photos you can recognize

Tiles show real thumbnails, so a camera folder reads like a camera roll rather than a list of numbers.

Search the folder, or the phone

Type to filter what's in front of you. Press Return to look through every folder inside it.

The shortcuts you already know

Copy, cut and paste. Rename with Return. Look at a file with the space bar. Drop files in to upload them.

Disk Reaper

Clear space by what you'd miss.

Most cleaners sort by folder. Disk Reaper sorts by regret. It scans your phone and groups everything by how much losing it would hurt, so the easy wins come first and your memories come last.

Nothing to Lose

Exact copies, app caches and leftovers that rebuild themselves.

Clear the pile in one go.

Forgotten

Old downloads and archives you've probably moved on from.

Clear the pile, or go through it first.

Your Call

Big files and collections only you can judge.

One at a time. Keep it or let it go.

Memories

Large camera videos. Worth a second look before they go.

One at a time, never in bulk.

Ask for space, get the safest space.

Tell Disk Reaper how much you need. It fills the request from the safest piles first, and tells you plainly when the rest is up to you. Nothing is deleted until you've reviewed the list.

Only 6.8 GB is safe to clear on its own. Go through Your Call for the rest.

See where the space went.

Three ways to read the same storage. Each one is drawn on glass, with a plain list beside it.

Size is space. Heat is time since last change, so the large, bright tiles are what you've forgotten about.

Heimdall

Drop it. It's on your phone.

Heimdall lives in your menu bar. Choose your phone, drop files on the window, and they land in its Download folder. Nothing gets overwritten.

Details

The small things, done properly.

Transfers that keep you posted

Every copy shows its speed and time left, and you can cancel it at any point.

Wireless when you want it

Pair once from the sidebar, then leave the cable in the drawer.

Deletes that ask first

Nothing leaves your phone without a confirmation that names exactly what's going.

Guard rails built in

Folders Android needs to run are locked, so they can't be cleared by accident.

The whole phone, if you need it

Show hidden files, or step outside your storage into the phone's system folders.

Light and dark

DroidDisk follows your Mac's appearance, glass and all.

Privacy

Just your Mac and your phone.

DroidDisk talks to your phone over USB or your own Wi-Fi. There's no account to create, and your files never pass through a server.

Opening it the first time

DroidDisk isn't from the App Store, so macOS checks with you once. Open DroidDisk and click Done when macOS says it can't verify it. Then open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway next to DroidDisk.

  1. Install Android Platform Tools

    DroidDisk uses Google's adb. With Homebrew, it's one line.

    brew install android-platform-tools
  2. Turn on USB debugging

    On your phone, open Settings, then Developer options, and switch on USB debugging.

  3. Connect and allow

    Plug in your phone and tap Allow when it asks. DroidDisk finds it straight away.
