## What it is
Palmr. is an open-source, self-hosted file-sharing platform serving as an alternative to services like WeTransfer. It lets users upload, organize, and share files with password protection, custom links, and access control, using a Fastify backend, SQLite storage, and a Next.js frontend.

## Use cases
- self-host a WeTransfer alternative for sending large files
- share files with password-protected links on my own server
- organize uploads into folders and share them with access control
- host a private file transfer service without size limits or tracking
- store shared files on S3-compatible object storage instead of local disk

## When to choose
- you want a free, self-hosted alternative to WeTransfer-style services
- privacy matters and you need full control over your file-sharing data
- you want simple deployment with SQLite and filesystem storage, or optional S3 scaling

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project has been archived by its author
- you need production-grade guarantees - it was still in beta when archived
- you need enterprise features like team management or audit logs
