Dhara is the simple way to move files between devices on your local Wi-Fi network โ€” no cloud accounts, no sign-ups, no uploads to remote servers. Just point any browser at the URL Dhara shows you and start downloading or uploading. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a folder on your phone to share 2. Tap Start โ€” Dhara serves it over HTTP on your Wi-Fi 3. The receiver opens the URL in any browser (or scans the QR code) 4. Files transfer directly between your devices NO CLOUD. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Dhara has no backend servers. Your files don't travel through us โ€” they go directly from your phone to whoever you're sharing with, on whatever Wi-Fi network you're both on. We don't see them, store them, or know they exist. FAST AND RELIABLE LARGE FILE TRANSFERS Resumable uploads, chunked streaming, and HTTP Range support mean you can transfer 2 GB videos as easily as 2 KB notes. Dhara has been tested with multi-gigabyte files staying flat in memory throughout. LIVE VISIBILITY See which devices are connected, how many bytes are flowing in each direction, and how fast each transfer is going. Active progress shows on both ends โ€” the phone and the receiving browser. MULTI-NETWORK AWARE Sharing while on Wi-Fi and Personal Hotspot at the same time? Dhara shows every URL the receiver could use, friendly-named per interface with separate QR codes for each. SECURITY ON YOUR TERMS - Set an optional password โ€” Dhara serves over Basic Auth, browsers prompt automatically - Toggle uploads on or off as you need - Toggle downloads on or off (run as upload-only for one-way drops) - Clear, honest security warnings about what an open server actually exposes DARK MODE, COLORFUL CARDS, FAST UI Beautiful card-based interface with full dark / light / system theme support.

DHARA PRO ยท NO ADS ($9.99 one-time) Everything in Pro, plus all ads removed forever. PRIVACY We collect nothing beyond anonymous crash reports.
