LocalSend is a 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.
## Screenshots
## Download
It 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.

In most cases, LocalSend should work out of the box. 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.
| Traffic Type | Protocol | Port | Action |
|--------------|----------|-------|--------|
| Incoming | TCP, UDP | 53317 | Allow |
| Outgoing | TCP, UDP | Any | Allow |Also 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).
**Portable Mode**
(Introduced in v1.13.0)
Create a file named `settings.json` located in the same directory as the executable.
This file can be empty.
The app will use this file to store settings instead of the default location.## How it Works
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.
For more information on the LocalSend Protocol, see the [documentation](https://github.com/localsend/protocol).
## Getting Started
To compile LocalSend from the source code, follow these steps:
1. Install [Flutter](https://flutter.dev).
2. Clone the LocalSend repository.
3. Run `cd app` to enter the app directory.
4. Run `flutter pub get` to download dependencies.
5. Run `flutter run` to start the app.The issue may be caused by a mismatch between the required Flutter version and the installed Flutter version.
LocalSend uses [fvm](https://fvm.app) to manage the project Flutter version (specified in [.fvm/fvm_config.json](.fvm/fvm_config.json)). After you install it, run `fvm flutter` instead of `flutter`.
