Instant Transfer helps you move files quickly between phones and computers on the same local network. FEATURES • Radar discovery—tap a nearby device to send • Photos, videos, files, folders, and contacts • QR scan or manual IP when discovery fails • Live text: type on one device, view and copy on the other • Save received media to Photos; sync contacts to your address book • Transfer history by device, with local cleanup when you need it WHY IT’S SIMPLE • No sign-up • Peer-to-peer on your LAN by default—we don’t host your files on our servers • Desktop saves can go to a local folder such as Downloads/Instant Transfer TIPS Keep both devices on the same Wi‑Fi (or usable local network) and allow Local Network permission. If auto-discovery fails, use QR scan or enter the IP manually. If you find it useful, a rating on the App Store is appreciated.

LanSend moves files between your devices over the local network. No account, no cloud, no size limits: the data goes straight from one device to the other. WHAT IT DOES • Send photos, videos, documents and whole folders to another phone or computer on the same Wi‑Fi • Receive files into the folder you choose, sorted by device, date or type if you like • Keep the clipboard in sync between paired computers (macOS and Windows) • Resume interrupted transfers instead of starting over • Verify every file with a checksum WORKS WITH LOCALSEND LanSend uses the open LocalSend protocol, so it can also exchange files with any other app that speaks the same protocol. PRIVACY Everything stays on your network. LanSend has no servers, collects no data and needs no sign‑in. Transfers are encrypted end to end with TLS, and you can require a PIN or a one‑time pairing before anyone can send to you. ON YOUR NETWORK Devices find each other automatically. On networks that block discovery you can still send by typing the other device's IP address.
