Field notes
SideMount presents an Android phone to macOS as a file-system volume rather than as an MTP device, allowing Finder and command-line tools such as rsync to access it. The setup requires USB debugging and one-time authorization of the Mac; the stated compatibility is macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Its published tests report 147 MB/s writing and 111 MB/s reading on a USB 3 phone, with support for multiple phones and SD cards.
