LANDrop is a cross-platform application for transferring files between devices on the same local network, similar to AirDrop. It uses Qt and libsodium to provide fast, encrypted transfers without compression or internet dependency.

Use cases

• send photos from phone to laptop over wifi
• transfer files between devices without usb
• airdrop alternative for windows and android
• share files on local network without internet
• send videos without compression quality loss
• transfer files over personal hotspot without cellular data

When to choose

• you need to move files between mixed-platform devices on the same LAN
• you want fast transfers limited only by network speed, not internet bandwidth
• you need encrypted transfers without uploading files to a cloud service

When to avoid

• you need to send files to devices on different networks or over the internet
• you want actively developed open-source software - the repo is no longer the latest source
• you need command-line or scripted transfers
