A Rust implementation of Android's Nearby Share/Quick Share protocol for Linux and macOS, distributed as desktop apps (deb, rpm, AppImage, dmg). It lets desktops receive and send files to and from Android devices over the local Wi-Fi network.

Use cases

  • share files from android to linux laptop
  • quick share alternative for macos
  • receive files from phone on desktop over wifi
  • nearby share for linux
  • transfer files between android and computer without cable
  • send files to android from linux

When to choose

  • you use Linux or macOS and want Quick Share compatibility with Android
  • you need cable-free file transfer on the same Wi-Fi network
  • you prefer a native desktop app over browser-based transfer tools

When to avoid

  • devices are not on the same local network (Wi-Fi LAN only)
  • you need Windows support or other transfer protocols
  • your network blocks mDNS discovery
