Copy Transit gives every transfer a queue, pause and resume, conflict rules, and real verification — so large copies and drive migrations finish correctly, every time.
From a local SSD to a NAS across the network — every file lands, takes its final name, and gets verified while the rest keep flying.
A failed copy at 92% shouldn’t mean starting over. Copy Transit treats every transfer as a job it can queue, pause, resume, verify, and recover.
Opt in and ⌘C in Finder routes the copy through the safe engine — then every byte is hashed on both sides before a file is ever called done.
| Capability | Finder / Explorer | Copy Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Queue & reorder transfers | No — all run at once | Yes |
| Pause and resume | Pause only, per window | Yes — byte-offset, even after restart |
| Retry or skip failed files | Whole copy stops | Per file, automatic |
| Verification | None | Size / size+time / SHA-256 / manifest |
| Resume skips verified-good files | Starts over | Only missing or broken files re-copy |
| Safe move (delete after verify) | No | Yes, by design |
| Transfer history & reports | No | Journal, logs, exportable reports |
| Price | Built in | Free |
Most copy managers keep their real features on Windows and ship the Mac a thin companion. Copy Transit is built macOS-first — every capability below runs natively on your Mac, with the same engine now in early access on Windows.
Finder / Explorer built-in
One progress bar, no queue, no verify, no resume. Fine for a folder or two — blind for anything that matters.
Windows-first copy managers
The real feature set ships on Windows — checksums, queues, shell integration — while the Mac gets a stripped-down companion, if anything at all.
Copy Transit
macOS-first: every chip above runs natively on your Mac today — and the same safe engine is in early access on Windows 10/11. No feature gap between platforms by design.
Keep scrolling — the four things Copy Transit can ever ask for stack up below, and none of them is granted behind your back.
The first time a transfer touches a folder, macOS shows its standard access prompt — and that's the only moment Copy Transit asks. Nothing is scanned in the background, ever.
Granted per folderNAS and SMB shares mount like any other drive. If the connection drops mid-job, the transfer auto-pauses — and resumes safely when the share comes back.
Works out of the boxTurn on the Quick Action in System Settings → Extensions and any Finder selection gains a right-click “Send to Copy Transit”. Services and Shortcuts work the same way.
Enable if you want itWanted only if you enable true cut & paste of files through the safe engine. It listens for ⌘X/⌘C/⌘V solely while Finder is frontmost — and it's off by default.
Off until you say soCopy Transit is free for macOS and Windows — queue it, pause it, verify it, and trust the result.
