Transloader vs OpenBackup

With Transloader, you can initiate downloads on any and all of your Macs - remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs. Say you're browsing on your iPhone and come across a Mac app demo you'd like to give a try. Now, you could fumble for an app to save that link in for later, and hope to remember to download it afterwards. Or you can use Transloader, and assign that link for download to a Mac right away - no need for fumbling, or remembering. Even better, when you return to your Mac, the file will be ready for you. Main Features: - Initiate downloads on a remote Mac Wether you're on another Mac, an iPhone or an iPad, you can enter the link into the app on your device and assign it to a specific Mac for download. Or use the app's Share extension to start downloads right from within your browser. - Login to Download If a file requires a login on the website before it can be downloaded, Transloader lets you do that now. You can log in to websites at any time, from any device. - Link- and File Actions on Mac Link Actions tell Transloader on Mac which app or Automator workflow should open specific links (based on criteria like host or URL scheme), instead of downloading them in Transloader. For example, you can open ftp links with the ftp app of choice. A File Action lets Transloader on Mac open a file after its downloaded with an app or Automator workflow, based on criteria like file type/extension, or the link's host. For example, unzip zip files right away after they're downloaded, or organize downloaded images in folders. - Save links for later If your desired Mac is not yet registered with Transloader, or you'd just like to wait before you initiate the download of a link on a Mac, you can save it, and assign the link to a Mac for download later. Requirements: - The Mac app, available for purchase on the Mac App Store - A (free) iCloud account Here's what customers say about Transloader: "Extremely useful." - dcdixon, US App Store "As easy as it should be with Apple products!" - piotrekbielaska, Polish App Store "I'd never be able to live without it." - Navrik1323, UK App Store Here's what the press says about Transloader: "It works great and you should already be clicking the Purchase button." - Mikhail Madnani, beautifulpixels.com "Transloader is very helpful and saves me a lot of time." - macreview.com "Transloader is a simple, easy-to-use app and I've found it to be so useful." - Dan Frakes, macworld.com For further information, please visit Transloader's website.

OpenBackup — Reliable backup status monitoring for macOS Know whether your Mac backups are running as expected, wherever you are. OpenBackup is a focused companion app for monitoring backup jobs created with SuperDuper! on macOS. It does not remotely control your Mac and never opens, copies or uploads your backup contents. Instead, it reads a small status file that is updated after your backup runs. Whether you are at home, at work or away, OpenBackup gives you a clear overview: did the latest backup succeed, when did it run, and how much free space is reported for the backup destination? WHAT YOU CAN SEE • The latest backup result: successful, failed, in progress or pending • When the backup last completed • Source and destination information • Available free space on the backup destination • The status of one or multiple backup jobs • A compact dashboard designed to make problems visible quickly HOW IT WORKS 1. SuperDuper! runs the backup on your Mac. 2. OpenBackup Setup installs the status monitor on your Mac. 3. After a backup runs, the monitor updates a small status file. 4. You make that status file available through Google Drive, Dropbox or your own HTTPS server. 5. OpenBackup reads the file and displays the current status on your iPhone. OpenBackup monitors backup status. It does not create backups, modify SuperDuper! jobs or inspect the files inside your backups. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your backup data remains under your control. OpenBackup only reads the status file from the location you configure. Personal documents, passwords, photos and backup contents are not uploaded to OpenBackup. No OpenBackup account is required and the app contains no advertisements. WHAT YOU NEED • A Mac running macOS • SuperDuper! with at least one configured backup job • OpenBackup Setup installed on the Mac • Google Drive, Dropbox or an HTTPS server for the status file • An iPhone with OpenBackup OpenBackup Setup and the complete installation guide are available at: https://openbackup.app/setup/ FREE AND PRO OpenBackup Free lets you use a Google Drive status link and view the latest status and details of the first backup job. OpenBackup Pro is a one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks all backup jobs in the configured status file, Dropbox, custom HTTPS servers, manual refresh, configurable refresh intervals and backup status notifications. No subscription is required. Previous purchases can be restored from within the app. OpenBackup is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Shirt Pocket, the developer of SuperDuper!.
