Hi Product Hunt!
I’m the creator of Upstream.
Like many developers and sysadmins, I’ve spent years using FTP clients that felt sluggish, outdated, or bloated. Many of them aren't optimized for modern macOS, wasting resources and disrupting the workflow.
That’s why I built Upstream. I wanted a tool that is 100% native, blazing fast, and beautiful—built exclusively for the Mac experience. It ditches the heavy overhead of multi-platform wrappers to give you a lightweight, secure, and rock-solid file transfer experience.
Upstream is out now on the Mac App Store, and I’d love to get your feedback to make it even better. What features or integrations would you like to see next?
I'll be here all day to answer your questions and chat. Thank you so much for the support!
