About

SimpleFileSync for Mobile

Features
Read full description

You took a photo on your phone. It needs to be on your Mac. The usual answer is iCloud, AirDrop, or emailing it to yourself. SimpleFileSync skips all of that. Point the app at a Mac running SimpleFileSync, pick your files, and send. They land exactly where you want them — in the folder you chose, with the name you gave them, instantly. The iPhone version of SimpleFileSync is the companion to SimpleFileSync on Mac. Set up a receiving folder on your Mac once, and your iPhone can send files to it any time you're on the same network. No pairing process, no accounts, no cloud storage in the middle. Pick files from the Files app, or pull photos and videos straight from your photo library. You can send one file or a batch. Rename them before they go, drop them into a subfolder, or zip everything into a single archive — with an optional password if you want it locked down. If you send to the same Mac regularly, save it as a target. Give it a name, tap it to switch, and you're ready to send. Not sure if your Mac is reachable? Hit Verify and the app pings it before you send anything. Files travel directly from your phone to your Mac over your local network. Nothing goes through the internet. No account required. When your iPhone connects to a Mac for the first time, you approve it once — after that, only your trusted devices can receive anything. Every transfer is logged so you can see what went through, when it went, and whether anything had a problem. Clear it whenever you want. Features: - Send files from your iPhone directly to your Mac over your local network - Pick from the Files app or your photo library — photos, videos, documents, anything - Rename files before sending, or use a custom prefix when sending a batch - Send to a subfolder on your Mac to keep things organized - Zip multiple files into a single archive before sending - Password-protect zipped archives before they leave your phone - Save frequently used Macs as named targets and switch between them in one tap - Ping your Mac before sending to confirm it's reachable - First-connection trust approval — only your approved devices can receive files - All transfers happen on your local network, nothing touches the internet - No account, no cloud storage, no subscription - Upload history shows every transfer, its status, and when it happened - Supports light, dark, and sepia themes
