Cross-platform

LocalSend is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Share between phone and desktop without staying inside one vendor ecosystem.

Secure transfers

End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and the recipient can access your files. Transfers use HTTPS, and you can enable PIN verification for extra security.

No internet required

Works completely offline. Your data never leaves your local network. Ideal when cloud tools are blocked, slow, or unnecessary.

Blazingly fast

Transfer files at the maximum speed of your WiFi network. No bandwidth limits from a remote server standing between your devices.

Any file type

Choose photos, videos, documents, or text. Any file type is supported, so everyday and professional transfers stay simple.

Zero configuration

Just install and start sharing. Nearby devices appear on the same local network so you can tap to send without complex setup.

No account needed

LocalSend does not require any account or login. Install the app and start sharing without creating credentials.

No ads or trackers

LocalSend is 100% free and open source. There are no ads, no tracking, and no hidden costs built into the product experience.
