Stop DMing Screenshots to Yourself. There's a Better Way.

rust dev.to

If you use Android and Mac, you know the drill.

You take a screenshot. You need it on your Mac. So you DM it to yourself, wait for Google Photos, or dig through MTP. It works — but it's friction you deal with every single day.

Hiyoko Shot fixes this. It's a macOS menu bar app that automatically transfers your Android screenshots to your Mac the moment you take them.


How It Works

Connect your Android via USB or Wi-Fi. That's it. Take a screenshot on your phone, and it shows up in the app's gallery on your Mac — no cloud, no cables required after the initial setup, no extra steps.

The app lives in your menu bar and runs quietly in the background. You never have to think about it.

The Features You'll Actually Use

Drag & Drop to Anywhere

This is the one that changes your workflow. Grab any screenshot from the gallery and drop it directly into Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion — whatever you're working in. No hunting for the file. No copy-paste detours.

Click to Copy

Click a thumbnail and it's on your clipboard. Ready to paste anywhere instantly.

Wi-Fi Support

Pair once over USB, and the app will connect automatically over Wi-Fi from then on. No cable needed.

It Stays Out of Your Way

No Dock icon. Just a small menu bar icon that opens a clean popover when you need it. Satisfying "piyo!" notification sound when a transfer completes (optional, but worth keeping on).


Requirements

  • macOS 11.0 Big Sur or later (Universal — Intel & Apple Silicon)
  • Android 9.0+, USB Debugging enabled
  • No extra drivers or tools needed

One-Time Purchase — $7

No subscription. No upsells. Buy it once, use it forever.

If you take Android screenshots and work on a Mac, this will save you a small but real amount of friction every single day.
