Phone Sync
Plug in an iPhone or Android over USB and pull across new photos and videos.
Phone Sync pulls new photos and videos off a phone over a USB cable — nothing else needed. Connect an iPhone or Android and it copies across everything added since the last run. HEIC photos are converted to JPG with their GPS location and capture time kept intact, files are sorted into folders by year, and screenshots are kept separate from the camera roll. No cloud account, no storage plan, and no app to install on the phone.

Installing on Windows
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box the first time you run it. Click More info, then Run anyway. Buying code-signing certificates is one of the things donations pay for.
The installer’s first screen offers Full install (a Start-menu entry and an Apps & features listing) or Unzip (just extracts the program folder to a location you pick — no registry changes).
Every release on GitHub lists a SHA-256 hash for each file so you can verify your download. Phone Sync checks for a newer version when it starts and offers to fetch it — you always get a prompt, never a silent update.
