AI BriefingPicklocalsend: An AirDrop Alternative for File Sharing via Local Network Without Internet
localsend/localsend
About the project
Securely transfers files and messages between devices over a local network without external servers or internet connectivity. As an open-source alternative to AirDrop, it supports all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
It exchanges data using REST APIs and HTTPS encryption, ensuring security by generating TLS/SSL certificates in real time on each device. With no dependency on third-party servers, connections are fast and stable, and it also provides a CLI for transferring files directly from the terminal.
Useful for quickly moving large amounts of data in environments with limited internet access, such as public Wi-Fi or corporate intranets. It is ready to use immediately if the router's AP isolation settings are configured or firewall ports are allowed, and it can also run without installation in portable mode.
