Show HN: DroidDock – A sleek macOS app for browsing Android device files via ADB

https://rajivm1991.github.io/DroidDock/
23•rajivm1991•2h ago
Hi HN,

I’m Rajiv, a software engineer turned Math teacher living in the mountains, where I like to slow down life while still building useful software.

I recently built DroidDock, a lightweight and modern macOS desktop app that lets you browse and manage files on your Android device via ADB. After 12 years in software development, I wanted a free, clean, and efficient tool because existing solutions were either paid, clunky, or bloated.

Features include multiple view modes, thumbnail previews for images/videos, intuitive file search, file upload/download, and keyboard shortcuts. The backend uses Rust and Tauri for performance.

You can download the latest .dmg from the landing page here: https://rajivm1991.github.io/DroidDock/ Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/rajivm1991/DroidDock

I’d appreciate your feedback on usability, missing features, or bugs. Thanks for checking it out!

— Rajiv

Looks vibe coded?

Why do you say that?

The CLAUDE.md file is right there, so they are probably using agentic coding.

But why does it matter? Does the app not work? I don't have a Mac, can't check.

Don't wanna be killjoy, but specifically since "sleek" and "native" is mentioned many times, I'd say that's not what one expects from a sleek macOS application to say the least.

I'd expect something like Cyberduck quality UI, as an example. The author should aim to mimick system UI in my opinion as closely as possible (or integrate inside Finder).
