cross-platform app that enables secure communication between devices using a REST API and HTTPS encryption. Unlike other messaging apps that rely on external servers, LocalSend doesn't require an internet connection or third-party servers, making it a fast and reliable solution for local communication.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://localsend.org/img/screenshot-iphone.webp\" alt=\"iPhone screenshot\" height=\"300\"/\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https://localsend.org/img/screenshot-pc.webp\" alt=\"PC screenshot\" height=\"300\"/\u003e\n\n## Download\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/tiny-repos/localsend.svg)](https://repology.org/project/localsend/versions)\n\nIt is recommended to download the app either from an app store or from a package manager because the app does not have an auto-update.\n\n| Windows                 | macOS                   | Linux              | Android        | iOS           | Fire OS    |\n|-------------------------|-------------------------|--------------------|----------------|---------------|------------|\n| [Winget][]              | [App Store][]           | [Flathub][]        | [Play Store][] | [App Store][] | [Amazon][] |\n| [Scoop][]               | [Homebrew][]            | [Nixpkgs][]        | [F-Droid][]    |               |            |\n| [Chocolatey][]          | [DMG Installer][latest] | [Snap][]           | [APK][latest]  |               |            |\n| [EXE Installer][latest] |                         | [AUR][]            |                |               |            |\n| [Portable ZIP][latest]  |                         | [TAR][latest]      |                |               |            |\n|                         |                         | [DEB][latest]      |                |               |            |\n|                         |                         | [AppImage][latest] |                |               |            |\n\nRead more about [distribution channels][].\n\n[windows store]: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NCB4Z0TZ6RR\n[app store]: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/localsend/id1661733229\n[play store]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.localsend.localsend_app\n[f-droid]: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.localsend.localsend_app\n[amazon]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW6MP732\n[winget]: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/l/LocalSend/LocalSend\n[scoop]: https://scoop.sh/#/apps?s=0\u0026d=1\u0026o=true\u0026q=localsend\u0026id=fb88113be361ca32c0dcac423cb4afdeda0b0c66\n[chocolatey]: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/localsend\n[homebrew]: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/localsend\n[flathub]: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.localsend.localsend_app\n[nixpkgs]: https://search.nixos.org/packages?show=localsend\n[snap]: https://snapcraft.io/localsend\n[aur]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/localsend-bin\n[latest]: https://github.com/localsend/localsend/releases/latest\n[distribution channels]: https://github.com/localsend/localsend/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#distribution\n\n**Compatibility**\n\n| Platform | Minimum Version | Note                                                                                                                        |\n|----------|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Android  | 5.0             | -                                                                                                                           |\n| iOS      | 12.0            | -                                                                                                                           |\n| macOS    | 11 Big Sur      | Use OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.2 (See [#1005](https://github.com/localsend/localsend/issues/1005#issuecomment-2449899384)) |\n| Windows  | 10              | The last version to support Windows 7 is v1.15.4.

However, if you are having trouble sending or receiving files, you may need to configure your firewall to allow LocalSend to communicate over your local network.\n\n| Traffic Type | Protocol | Port  | Action |\n|--------------|----------|-------|--------|\n| Incoming     | TCP, UDP | 53317 | Allow  |\n| Outgoing     | TCP, UDP | Any   | Allow  |\n\nAlso make sure to disable AP isolation on your router. It should be usually disabled by default but some routers may have it enabled (especially guest networks).\nSee [troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) for more information.\n\n**Portable Mode**\n\n(Introduced in v1.13.0)\n\nCreate a file named `settings.json` located in the same directory as the executable.\nThis file can be empty.\nThe app will use this file to store settings instead of the default location.\n\n**Start hidden**\n\n(Updated in v1.15.0)\n\nTo start the app hidden (only in tray), use the `--hidden` flag (example: `localsend_app.exe --hidden`).\n\nOn v1.14.0 and earlier, the app starts hidden if `autostart` flag is set, and the hidden setting is enabled.\n\n## How It Works\n\nLocalSend 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.\n\nFor more information on the LocalSend Protocol, see the [documentation](https://github.com/localsend/protocol).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nTo compile LocalSend from the source code, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install Flutter [directly](https://flutter.dev) or using [fvm](https://fvm.app) (see [version required](.fvmrc))\n2. Install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)\n3. Clone the `LocalSend` repository\n4. Run `cd app` to enter the app directory\n5. Run `flutter pub get` to download dependencies\n6. Run `flutter run` to start the app\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e LocalSend currently requires an older Flutter version (specified in [.fvmrc](.fvmrc))\n\u003e and thus build issues may be caused by a mismatch between the required and the (system-wide) installed Flutter version.  \n\u003e To make development more consistent, LocalSend uses [fvm](https://fvm.app) to manage the project Flutter version.\n\u003e After installing `fvm`, run `fvm flutter` instead of `flutter`.\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions from anyone interested in helping improve LocalSend. If you'd like to contribute, there are a few ways to get involved:\n\n### Translation\n\nYou can help translate LocalSend into other languages. We use the [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/localsend/app) platform to manage translations.\n\nAlternatively, you can also contribute by forking this repository and adding translations manually.\n\nThe translations are located in the [app/assets/i18n](https://github.com/localsend/localsend/tree/main/app/assets/i18n) directory. Edit the `_missing_translations_\u003clocale\u003e.json` or `strings_\u003clocale\u003e.i18n.json` file to add or update translations.\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/localsend/\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://hosted.weblate.org/widget/localsend/app/multi-auto.svg\" alt=\"Translation status\" /\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n**_Take note:_ Fields decorated with `@` are not meant to be translated; they are not used in the app in any way, being merely informative text about the file or to give context to the translator.**\n\n### Bug Fixes and Improvements\n\n- **Bug Fixes:** If you find a bug, please create a pull request with a clear description of the issue and how to fix it.\n- **Improvements:** Have an idea for how to improve LocalSend? Please create an issue first to discuss why the improvement is needed.\n\nFor more information, see the [contributing guide](https://github.com/localsend/localsend/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n| Issue              | Platform (Sending) | Platform (Receiving) | Solution                                                                                                                                |\n|--------------------|--------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Device not visible | Any                | Any                  | Make sure to disable AP-Isolation on your router.
