A self-hostable web application that uses WebRTC peer-to-peer connections to transfer files, video, screen shares, live streams, and text between browsers. It includes an admin panel with statistics, monitoring, optional database storage, and features like password-protected rooms and chat.

Use cases

• transfer large files between devices without uploading to a cloud
• share my screen with a colleague in the browser
• host a low-latency live stream or video call on my own server
• send text and files peer-to-peer without speed limits
• self-host a webrtc file sharing tool with an admin dashboard

When to choose

• you want fast LAN file transfer with no cloud intermediary
• you need browser-based screen sharing, calls, or streaming without installing apps
• you want a self-hosted transfer tool with usage statistics and monitoring

When to avoid

• you need asynchronous file sharing where the recipient is offline
• you require a TURN server but cannot deploy one for WAN use
• you need a simple one-file CLI transfer utility rather than a full web service
