history
Project history and usage
AirSync is a macOS companion for connecting Android devices to a Mac with continuity-like notification, media, clipboard, mirroring, and file-transfer features.
Project history
The author started AirSync after finding KDE Connect unsatisfactory on Apple Silicon Macs and used the project as a first substantial Swift application. The Mac client is written with SwiftUI and the Android side with Jetpack Compose.
An initial public beta was announced in 2025 with notification synchronization, clipboard sharing, media status and controls, device status, and local-network communication. The later protocol documentation describes WebSocket messaging, file transfer, and optional AES-256-GCM encryption.
Adoption history
AirSync is distributed through GitHub releases and Homebrew and is paired with an Android application. Its feature set grew from continuity basics into notification actions, media controls, clipboard exchange, mirroring, file transfer, widgets, and optional encrypted communication.
How it is used
Install the Mac client and its Android companion, pair them on the local network, and enable the desired synchronization features. Optional tools such as `scrcpy`, `adb`, and `media-control` support additional functionality.
The protocol uses port 5297 and the `/socket` WebSocket endpoint by default. Its symmetric encryption key is stored in macOS UserDefaults, but the official documentation does not specify a stable filesystem pathname.
Why package nerds care
AirSync is notable to package users as a native, open-source attempt to bridge Apple's closed continuity ecosystem with Android. It also exposes a documented WebSocket protocol, making the project more inspectable and extensible than a purely opaque device-integration utility.
