LocalSend is a free, open-source app that allows you to securely share files and messages with nearby devices over your local network, all without the need for an internet connection. By removing the dependence on third-party servers, the app eliminates potential bottlenecks and ensures a consistent user experience.
LocalSend uses a secure communication protocol that allows devices to communicate with each other using a REST API. All data is sent securely over HTTPS, and the TLS/SSL certificate is generated on the fly on each device, ensuring maximum security and confidentiality.
For more information on the LocalSend Protocol, see the documentation.
