## Description

Shoot. The RAW lands on your iPhone in seconds. No cables, no JPEG-only hacks. Built for Sony A7 III / A7 IV / α1 and any Alpha that speaks FTP.

Your Sony Alpha already speaks FTP. RawCatch is the receiver Sony forgot to ship.
                                                                                                                                            
  Take a shot. The full-resolution RAW lands on your iPhone or Mac in seconds — not a downscaled JPEG, not after waiting for the sluggish   
  Creators' App. RawCatch listens on your local Wi-Fi, accepts the file straight from the camera's built-in FTP transfer, and shows you a   
  preview with full EXIF before the next frame goes off.                                                                                    
                                                            
  What it does:                                                                                                                             
  • Receives ARW over Wi-Fi via the camera's native FTP transfer
  • Real-time progress: live byte counter, transfer speed, ETA                                                                              
  • Embedded RAW preview + full EXIF (camera, lens, ISO, shutter, focal)                                                                    
  • Auto-saves to your Photos library (with your permission)                                                                                
  • Delete in the app → also deletes from Photos                                                                                            
  • Survives the screen turning off mid-transfer                                                                                            
  • One codebase for iPhone and Mac                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                            
  What it fixes:                                                                                                                            
  • Creators' App has no RAW over the air. RawCatch: RAW first.                                                                             
  • Transfer & Tagging Add-on is JPEG-only and unstable. RawCatch is built on Apple's Network.framework.                                    
  • Other FTP server apps die in the background. RawCatch keeps the socket alive.                                                           
  • Sony's "100MSDCF / 101MSDCF" per-session folders break Lightroom watch folders. RawCatch flattens everything into one destination.      
                                                                                                                                            
  Tested on Sony A7 III. Onboarding includes setup steps for A7 IV, A7R IV/V, α1, A9 II/III, FX3 and a generic fallback for other Sony      
  bodies.                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                            
  No subscription. No cloud lock-in. No analytics. No accounts. Files stay between your camera, your device, and your Photos library.
