Tool2026
Local Share moves files between devices on the same network with no accounts, no cloud and no typing IPs by hand.
- mDNS discovery and one-time PIN pairing per device.
- Direct peer-to-peer transfer over TLS, with history and paired devices in SQLite.
- One process per device: Flet for UI, FastAPI/uvicorn for the server and httpx for the client.
- Development tools to test discovery, pairing and transfer between two processes.
- Built for Windows ↔ Android; the certificate and identity are generated locally.
A small home-infrastructure project: the hard part is the network, not the interface.
