Description
RollFerry copies photos and videos off an Android phone onto your Mac over USB. It's a photos-first replacement for Android File Transfer, which Google discontinued in 2024. Plug in, see only what's new by month, and copy it to your Mac or an external drive. Every file is checked with SHA-256, transfers resume if you unplug, and it only offers to delete from your phone what's verified on your Mac. No account, no subscription, works offline. Free trial, $9 once.

Could you build this?
Partial Interfacing with Android over USB on macOS requires working directly with the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) or ADB protocols and handling USB driver quirks that often fail silently or lock up on macOS.
What it would actually take: The app needs to be built in Swift/Objective-C or Rust/Tauri leveraging `libusb` or a custom MTP client implementation to communicate with Android devices without conflicts from macOS's built-in PTP handlers. It requires multi-threaded file hashing (SHA-256) while streaming over USB, robust error handling for unexpected disconnects, and metadata parsing for media indexing. Specialized knowledge in low-level USB protocols and macOS hardware device management is required.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Agriculture yet.
