OpenNearby

Cross-platform local-network file beaming app with mDNS discovery and no account or cloud step.

Desktopfree

OpenNearby is a cross-platform desktop app that shares files with other devices on the same WiFi network, discoverable via mDNS or reachable by any browser through a QR code or link -- with no app install required on the receiving device. It runs entirely without a cloud service or account, aiming to give users an AirDrop-style experience that works across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS instead of being locked to one vendor's ecosystem.
