## What is LocalShare?

LocalShare sends files and messages straight to iPhones and iPads on the same Wi-Fi. Open the app on both devices and they find each other automatically. No pairing, no account, no cloud.

SEND FILES AND WHOLE FOLDERS
• Pick photos, videos, documents or entire folders and send them in one go. Folders arrive with their structure intact.
• The other person sees a prompt and taps Receive, so nothing lands on their device without permission.
• Large files and many files at once, with progress, stop and resume.

BROWSE SHARED FOLDERS
• Choose which folders to share, including iCloud Drive folders, and let nearby devices browse and download them.
• Only the folders you share are visible. Everything else stays private.

CHAT
• Send messages, photos and files to a nearby device.
• Delete a whole chat or selected messages, and set chat history to delete itself automatically (1 minute to 24 hours).
• Adjustable message text size.

SECURE BY DESIGN
• Every connection is encrypted with TLS 1.3.
• Each device has its own security key. If a key ever changes, LocalShare warns you before anything is exchanged.
• Compare a short security code to confirm you’re connected to the right device.

EASY TO USE FOR EVERYONE
• Senior Mode makes all text and buttons larger and bolder.
• Available in English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese and Russian.

PRIVATE
• Files and messages go directly between your devices over your local network. Nothing passes through a server.
• No ads, no tracking, no account.

Requirements: both devices on the same Wi-Fi network with LocalShare open, and Local Network access allowed. Interrupted transfers resume when you return to the app.
