The useful parts are already here.
Bridgey is deliberately native on both platforms and keeps every capability independently controllable.
File transfer
Stream files in either direction with progress, cancellation, integrity checks, and partial-file cleanup.
Notifications
Mirror Android notifications to macOS, run exposed actions, reply inline, and keep dismissal state synchronized.
Calls
Start a validated number from the Mac and use visible Answer, Decline, and Hang Up controls.
Battery
See the connected Android device's charge and charging state without reaching for the phone.
Find Device
Ring either device from the other, with an explicit local stop action and synchronized state.
Private by design
Your devices talk to each other — not to us.
01
No account or cloud dependency. Discovery and transport stay on the local network.
02
Mutual confirmation. Both devices verify the same six-digit pairing code before trust is stored.
03
Per-device permissions. Clipboard, files, notifications, battery, Find Device, and calls can be disabled separately.
04
Scoped access. Bridgey does not request contacts, SMS history, full storage, screen recording, or Accessibility for its current feature set.
Road to 1.0
Useful milestones, not a feature pile.
Media & quick actions
Playback controls, link handoff, Ping, Mac battery, tiles, and shortcuts.
Remote input
Opt-in touchpad, keyboard, presentation controls, and visible session safety.
Files 2.0
Folders, resumable transfers, scoped browsing, queues, and multiple devices.
Automation
Local allowlisted actions plus carefully isolated screen-sharing and SMS experiments.
Stable companion
A frozen protocol, migrations, stress testing, security review, and complete documentation.
Documentation
Understand it, build it, verify it.
