▶ Overview • Transfer your messages, pictures, videos, documents, and other files between devices. • All data is securely encrypted with E2EE (end-to-end encryption). • Send & share data to the destination device even when it is offline. • Unlimited devices can be added to your device list which you can freely airdrop between. • Sent messages can be deleted remotely from a local device. • Lock your message with one device and unlock it with another device. • Add location in your message to know where you are. • Transfer large files peer-to-peer (P2P) without the use of a central server (coming soon). ▶ When do you need Leaper? If you've ever tried to quickly transfer photos from your Phone to your PC (or PC to Phone), you know it can be a cumbersome process. Sending data to your own devices was never so easy before. ▶ What is Leaper? Leaper is a personal messaging app that creates a private network from your devices. Quickly and intuitively move files/messages with end-to-end encryption from across devices, services, and platforms with Leaper’s streamlined 3 step-file transfer. Other modes of file transfer are clunky, requiring file manager or app selection to send, followed by manual saving/downloading from the destination device. Leaper maximizes both efficiency and security by instantly transferring files and messages directly from one registered device to any other using SSL/TLS encryption and FTP with E2EE (end-to-end encryption). NOTE: Leaper Application should be installed also into other devices to communicate with this device. Other devices can be iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, iPod Touch, MacBook M1/M2, and/or Windows PC. ▶ Features Encrypt & Send Text, Links, Images, Videos, Documents, and More: Whether you need to write yourself a message, transfer photos and videos, or move a document, Leaper makes it fast and simple – sending text or files from one device to any other, instantaneously. Cross platform: Transfer text and files between all devices on any platform. Secure data handling: No worries about leaving trails of data on our servers. Leaper uses end-to-end encryption for file/text itself and SSL/TLS encryption for secure file transfer and purges all server data after moving files, ensuring data is stored only on the user's local devices and cannot be accessed by any other medium. Message lock (Patented): We take care of your privacy very seriously. In case you need to send private or confidential information such as bank or credit card information, passwords, serial numbers, product keys, or confirmation codes, Leaper allows you to lock content to one device, such as your computer, making it invisible everywhere else. Content can then be unlocked using a PIN number or your device biometrics system. Location sharing: Using Leaper you can easily remember important places where you visited in the past by just clicking on the photo which you have taken at that place when you visited there. You don’t need to remember that place, just add your location with the photographs and videos and send it to any of your devices.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Data Transfer at 3.8 against Leaper's 3.3. Data Transfer also leads on ratings volume (316 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Leaper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Data Transfer holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Transfer has 316 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Leaper's written reviews are positive against 52% of Data Transfer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Leaper ships an update every 2 months, Data Transfer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
