Synqed

Synqed brings Android and Mac together the way iPhone and Mac already do: notifications, calls, texts, clipboard, files, all in one place. It's for Android users with a Mac tired of the two ignoring each other, the same crowd as Bounce Connect or KDE Connect users.

What it does: mirrors phone notifications to your Mac with real app icons and inline reply, lets you accept or decline calls from your desktop, syncs SMS threads both ways, copies clipboard content automatically, and moves files back and forth with resume support if the connection drops.

What's different: no cloud, no account, no server in between. It's an encrypted connection over your own WiFi, with fallbacks (mDNS, a cached IP, UDP broadcast, manual entry) so it stays connected instead of quietly dropping. Pairing is a one-time numeric code, then devices trust each other. The Mac app ships as a direct, notarized.
