Mobile apps, web platforms, and the backends behind them. Here are a few I like most.

Synqed

Continuity for people who carry an Android phone and work on a Mac. Calls, SMS, notifications, clipboard, and file transfer move between the two over an AES-256-GCM encrypted tunnel on your own Wi-Fi, with no cloud, account, or relay in the path. Native Kotlin on Android and Swift on macOS, with a menu-bar popover, a notch drop zone, call banners, a remote file browser with resumable transfers, and a notification digest that runs on-device through Apple Intelligence.
