I got tired of MTP apps on macOS, so I built my own in Swift

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a small project I've been working on.

I originally built MacMTP just for myself because I was having a frustrating time transferring files between my Android phone and my Mac. I tried tools like OpenMTP, and while they're useful, I kept running into issues that made the experience unreliable for me.

I'm not claiming MacMTP is perfect, but it's been working well for my own workflow.

The app is written entirely in Swift and SwiftUI, so it's lightweight and feels native on macOS. I also added a few features that I personally wanted but couldn't find in OpenMTP.

If you'd like to try it, fork it, or contribute, I'd really appreciate it.

I built this because I know I'm not the only person who has struggled to use an Android phone with a Mac. Hopefully it makes things a little easier for someone else too.

I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, or contributions. Thanks for checking it out!
