The helper is optional. It only prepares and opens a local SMB address in Finder. No telemetry, cloud connection or automatic upload.
A PHONE-SIZED NAS
Share only what you choose.
PhoneNAS is built around explicit folders and named users, not an all-or-nothing view of the phone.
More than one share
Give each selected folder a clear SMB share name.
Users and access
Add users and control which shares each one can access.
Useful controls
See status, recent devices, logs, network details and battery settings in one app.
STORAGE THAT CAN GROW
Start with the phone. Add more when it is ready.
Today, PhoneNAS shares the folders Android makes available through its system folder picker. That keeps access explicit and permission-safe.
Broader removable-drive and filesystem support is planned next, so a phone can become the compact controller for more of the storage you already own.
THE REAL APP
Status and storage, clearly separated.
Start or stop the NAS, inspect recent devices, manage folders and open the detailed controls when needed.
CONNECT YOUR WAY
Helper or direct SMB.
PhoneNAS is intended for trusted local networks. Do not expose its SMB port directly to the internet. The Mac helper is ad-hoc signed and not notarized; first launch may require Control-click → Open.
