LocalSend application

LocalSend is an open-source, cross-platform application that enables secure and convenient file and message sharing between devices over a local network, without requiring an internet connection. It serves as a privacy-focused alternative to proprietary services like AirDrop or Nearby Share. As an open-source project, its code is contributed to by developers worldwide and is not manufactured in a traditional factory setting but rather assembled through digital collaborative platforms.

The project was originally created by Tien Do Nam and is maintained as a community-driven initiative. Because it is licensed under the MIT License, the software is not owned by a traditional corporate entity but is governed by the open-source community. This ensures the tool remains free, transparent, and independent of corporate data-tracking interests. It supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
