What others say

I film videos for Instagram Reels, and sending them via messengers always ruined the quality. With MacDroid, I just connect my phone to Mac and drop the original files into Final Cut. It cut my editing time in half.

Jennifer Williams 4.8

I had hundreds of short videos from a recent trip that I wanted to edit into a montage. AFT kept freezing, but MacDroid opened my phone instantly and let me move everything into a single folder in Finder.
