What is Flying Carpet?
Flying Carpet is an open-source, cross-platform file transfer tool that allows users to send files directly between devices over ad hoc WiFi connections. It solves the problem of transferring files without relying on shared networks, internet access, or external storage like flash drives, making it especially useful in offline or restricted environments.
Users who frequently need to transfer files between different operating systems (Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows) without internet access, IT professionals managing multi-OS environments, and individuals seeking a simple, offline alternative to cloud-based sharing services.
Developers choose Flying Carpet for its unique ability to work across all major platforms without infrastructure, its support for large files, and its lightweight, native applications built with modern frameworks like Tauri for a seamless user experience.
