Introducing LocalSend: Secure File Sharing Without Internet Dependency

LocalSend is a revolutionary, open-source application designed for seamless file and message sharing between nearby devices via local networks. This solution operates independently from the internet, eliminating reliance on third-party servers, which often introduce delays and potential privacy concerns. As a result, users enjoy a streamlined and dependable experience.

Secure Communication Protocol

Leveraging a secure communication protocol, LocalSend facilitates device connectivity using a REST API. It prioritizes security, employing HTTPS for all data transmissions. To maintain confidentiality, each device dynamically generates its TLS/SSL certificate, fortifying the connection against unauthorized access.
