LocalSend

LocalSend is a free and open-source alternative to Apple's AirDrop. It lets you easily share files between a bunch of devices like Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. So, whether you're at home or on the go, it's super handy!

Secure File Transfers

What’s cool about LocalSend is that you can securely send files and messages to nearby devices over your local network. You don't even need an internet connection or any third-party servers! How neat is that?

Safety First

You might be wondering how it keeps your data safe. Well, LocalSend uses two key tools: a REST API for secure communication and HTTPS encryption. That means all your info gets sent securely over HTTPS with TLS and SSL certificates created right on each device. If you're curious about the details of LocalSend's protocol, check out their GitHub page.

User-Friendly Design

The best part? LocalSend has a straightforward design that feels just right for modern apps. It might not have flashy graphics, but that’s perfect if you prefer efficiency and simplicity.

Cohesive Experience Across Platforms

No matter what device you're using, LocalSend has a consistent look (except for some icons). This makes it easy to navigate no matter where you are!

Simple User Experience

When it comes to user experience, LocalSend doesn’t disappoint. The desktop app for Linux is as simple to use as its iOS or Android versions. It has three main sections: Receive, Send, and Settings—nice and clear!

Customization Options

You can also customize the app a bit! Choose different themes and colors or pick from various languages. Plus, there’s a Quick Save option for those times when you’re juggling multiple file transfers.

A Great App with Community Support

All in all, LocalSend is an awesome little tool with a supportive development community behind it. It looks great, works smoothly, and is super easy to get the hang of! Plus, it supports many Linux distributions with dedicated binaries.
