LocalSend
An open-source cross-platform app for secure file and message sharing over local networks without internet.
What is LocalSend?
LocalSend is an open-source application that allows users to securely share files and messages between devices over a local network without requiring an internet connection. It solves the problem of transferring data between different operating systems (like Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS) quickly and privately, without relying on external servers or cloud services.
Users who need to transfer files between different devices and operating systems on the same local network, especially those prioritizing privacy, offline capability, and avoiding proprietary ecosystems like AirDrop.
Developers choose LocalSend because it's a completely free, open-source, and cross-platform alternative to proprietary solutions, with no data leaving the local network, ensuring privacy and reducing dependency on internet connectivity or third-party services.
