## What it is
DashBeam (formerly AltSendme) is an open-source peer-to-peer file transfer application that sends files and folders of any size directly between devices, end-to-end encrypted, without cloud storage or accounts. It offers native desktop apps, an Android app, a CLI, and a browser-based receiver, with LAN discovery, device pairing, and resumable transfers.

## Use cases
- send large files without uploading to cloud storage
- transfer files between phone and computer without a cable
- share files with someone without creating an account
- airdrop alternative for windows linux and android
- resume an interrupted large file transfer
- transfer files over local wifi without internet
- send files privately without a third-party server

## When to choose
- you need direct device-to-device transfers with no cloud storage or accounts
- you want resumable, integrity-verified transfers of very large files or folders
- you need cross-platform sharing across desktop, mobile, CLI, and browser
- you want LAN auto-discovery or one-time link/QR sharing for receivers with no install

## When to avoid
- you need asynchronous cloud-based sharing where the recipient downloads later without you being online
- you require team collaboration features like comments, versioning, or shared drives
- you need iOS support today (it is not yet available)
