PhotoSync Companion
PhotoSync Companion is a macOS photo and video transfer app that helps move or back up media between your Mac and mobile devices over local Wi‑Fi.
What is PhotoSync Companion?
PhotoSync Companion is a native macOS photo and video transfer app for sending, receiving, and backing up media between a Mac and devices running PhotoSync. It is designed for people who want a simple way to move pictures and videos without relying on cables or cloud uploads for local transfers. Common uses include importing photos from an iPhone or iPad to a Mac, sending selected files from the Mac to a phone or tablet, and receiving media directly into folders or the Photos app. The app works alongside the PhotoSync mobile app and focuses on transfers over the local Wi‑Fi network, with options that support ongoing backup and everyday media organization workflows. Published by touchbyte GmbH, it fits best in photo management and transfer setups where users want a dedicated desktop companion on macOS.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is legitimate media-transfer software. Access to your photos, videos, folders, or the Photos library is normal for its purpose, and network activity is expected while transferring between devices on your local Wi‑Fi. Use it on networks you trust, and review any folder or photo-library access prompts so transfers go only where you expect.
Recommendation: Keep PhotoSync Companion if you use PhotoSync to move or back up photos and videos between devices and your Mac. If you no longer use that workflow, you can remove the app; doing so will stop Mac-based transfers and any related import convenience features.
