Osmotic: a Mac client for DJI Osmo camera protocols

Osmotic implements a macOS client for DJI Osmo cameras using their BLE pairing, DUML-over-UDP control and file-list protocol. It downloads media over the camera's Wi-Fi, provides recording and live-view controls, and includes Swift protocol code and documentation derived in part from earlier Osmo projects.
