Send images, documents or text via peer-to-peer connection to devices on the same local network/Wi-Fi or to paired devices. As it is web based, it runs on all devices. As a progressive web app you can install it to your devices directly from the browser.

You want to quickly send a file from your phone to your laptop? You want to share photos in original quality with friends that use a mixture of Android and iOS? You want to share private files peer to peer between Linux systems? AirDrop is unreliable again? Send it with PairDrop!

Some of you might know PairDrops predecessor Snapdrop which I too used nearly everyday for over two years. Sadly the Snapdrop server is quite unstable so I decided to advance the project myself and forked it into PairDrop with loads of improvements, stability fixes, and some major new features:

• Device Pairing (to enable connections on public Wi-Fi, company/university networks, Apple Private Relay, VPN etc.)
• Improved UI
• Integration into device share / context menus
• (see README for more information)

Use the publicly available pairdrop.net as much as you like or simply host PairDrop yourself with Node or Docker no matter whether on a Pi on your local network or on a publicly available domain.
