    Hi HN, I’m Rajiv, a software engineer turned Math teacher living in the mountains, where I like to slow down life while still building useful software. I recently built DroidDock, a lightweight and modern macOS desktop app that lets you browse and manage files on your Android device via ADB. After 12 years in software development, I wanted a free, clean, and efficient tool because existing solutions were either paid, clunky, or bloated. Features include multiple view modes, thumbnail previews for images/videos, intuitive file search, file upload/download, and keyboard shortcuts.…

    I always found sharing files from my Android phone to my Mac a pain. I wanted to have a way to share my photos, videos, documents etc from my phone directly to my MBP, without having to upload anything to the 'cloud' or some messaging app. Those ways tend to be less secure and fairly slow. Because of this I made this little app you see on the video that enables you to share the files directly from your phone to your laptop. I have been using it for a while now for personal use and it works really well! The app was recently made available to everyone. You can try it out for free via…

    Hi HN, I’m Marc, founder of Zynk, an application being built by a small bootstrapped team. Zynk is a cross‑platform file transfer + messaging app designed around two things: reliability (auto‑resume) and privacy (end‑to‑end encryption). The project started because I felt it's still a pain to move files and folders across a Linux laptops, a Mac workstation, my phone, countless other devices, and to others. Some existing solutions don't cross ecosystems, cloud drives are slow/inefficient/fragile for big transfers, and a lot of tools fall over when you sleep a laptop or switch…
