Rank #15 grishka/NearDrop
https://github.com/grishka/NearDrop
An unofficial Google Nearby Share app for macOS
Language: Swift
Stars: 512(101 stars today) Forks:9
NearDrop is a macOS application that partially implements Google’s Nearby Share for file sharing. The app works by saving files to your downloads folder and living in your menu bar. The app is limited to receiving files only, and the Android device and Mac need to be on the same Wi-Fi LAN network for the app to work. The app is visible to everyone on your network while running, and limited visibility requires talking to Google servers. The app is useful for personal file sharing between Android devices and Macs. The commercial applications of this project include providing a tool for businesses to share files between their employees’ Android devices and Macs. The project is open-source and available for download from the releases section. The app is not notarized because the developer does not want to pay Apple for the privilege of developing macOS apps and opposes their idea of security. The project is not available on the app store because the developer does not want to pay Apple for the privilege of developing macOS apps and does not want to go through the review process. The project is not the other way around, i.e., AirDrop on Android, because AirDrop uses Apple’s own proprietary take on peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, which cannot be implemented without messing around with the Wi-Fi adapter drivers and raw packets.
