Field notes
After connection, Tandem is described as detecting the handset and showing it under Finder’s Locations; users can browse internal storage and an SD card, preview files, and manage transfers. Its photo workflow can import to Apple Photos or folders, skip duplicates, and retain original dates; an optional setting can clear items from the phone after import. The privacy section says files go between phone and Mac rather than through Tandem’s cloud.
