MeshDrop lets you share text and files between your devices over the same local network — quickly, directly, and without the cloud. Open MeshDrop on two devices connected to the same Wi-Fi and they discover each other automatically. Pick a device, drop in some text or a set of files, and send. Everything travels directly between devices on your network — there is no server in the middle and no account to create. KEY FEATURES • Automatic discovery — nearby MeshDrop devices appear on their own, with no pairing codes to type • Send text and files — share a quick note or a batch of files in just a couple of taps • Resume on disconnect — if a transfer is interrupted, reconnecting picks up where it left off instead of starting over • Two-way messaging — send and receive between any pair of devices • Trusted devices — confirm a device's fingerprint once and it is remembered; optionally auto-accept files from devices you trust • Live transfer status — watch real-time speed and progress while files move • Share Sheet — send straight from Photos, Files, and other apps on iPhone and iPad • Notifications — get alerted the moment a message or file arrives WORKS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES MeshDrop uses one shared protocol across all its apps, so MeshDrop on iPhone and iPad works with MeshDrop on Mac, Apple TV, and other devices on the same network. Move a file from your phone to your computer, or push a note to the device next to you — no cables required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No servers and no cloud relay — transfers stay on your local network • No account or sign-up required • No tracking and no ads Connect to the same Wi-Fi, open the app, and start sharing.
