Localsend: An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop

I love local send. It’s ridiculously fast for sending large amounts of media too.

Really cool! I used it a couple of times and did not expect it to work. But it worked. :D

It’s not as slick as AirDrop and you have to sort of “prep“ both devices whenever you want to send/receive anything, it’s never just ready to go, but it’s incredibly reliable and will move anything from one machine to another. Just having that consistency across literally any device is so nice.

Why not use WebRTC? 0 download.

(I'm all for alternatives to AirDrop. I'm all for AirDrop inter-operability. Nothing against those things.)

For LAN file sharing, you can do it with any browser. Implementations like: https://sendfiles.dev/ (though there are many others)

What do you guys think about an AI that has Multi agents personal assistance agentic commander all in one place..??

Using it works perfectly for me!

As people have noted, the "local" part makes it hard.

Here's my question, y'all. What is the deal with the magic Syncthing uses and why can't we use it for stuff like this? And well, for everything?

(I've been doing this stuff for years and I still can't wrap my head around this question)

So needed

i really wish Wi-Fi Direct succeeded

maybe eventually something like quickshare & airdrop mold into an interoperable thing but i'm not holding my breath

Excuse my ignorance but why are there so many solutions like this? Especially if they aren't intercompatible (which I'm assuming they're not)

The README and website certainly seem polished, but I haven't used the utility yet.

What's the main value prop over wormhole? That it works from the browser?

Hey I use this. Works great. Ez.
