LocalDrop.Dev

LocalDrop is the fastest way to take screenshots, record screen videos, and send files and text between Mac, iPhone, Windows, and Android. Your devices just need to be on the same Wi-Fi — no internet, no accounts, no third-party servers.

▸ KEY FEATURES

• Built-in screenshot and screen recording (desktop) — send in one tap
• Share files of any size over local Wi-Fi — no cloud, no upload step
• Send text between devices, lands on the clipboard (links, OTP codes, snippets, wallet addresses)
• Right-click integration in Finder / File Explorer + Share menu on Android and iOS
• HTTPS + TOFU encryption — your data never leaves your local Wi-Fi
• Two-way between macOS, Windows, iOS, Android — not locked to one OS
• No account required, no telemetry, no ads

▸ COMMON SCENARIOS

Looking at a photo on your iPhone and want to edit it on your Mac? Caught a bug screenshot on Windows and need to send it to a friend on Android? Copied a long link on your computer and want to open it on your phone?

LocalDrop does all of that in one or two taps — your devices just need to be on the same Wi-Fi (your home network, your office, or even a coffee shop hotspot).

▸ ONE TAP. SENT.

Right-click a file in File Explorer or Finder, or use the Share menu on Android, iPhone or iPad → tap "Send via LocalDrop" → pick a device → done. No dragging across windows, no copying links, no helper apps.

▸ SEND TEXT BETWEEN DEVICES — WITHOUT A CHAT APP

Need to move a link, an OTP code, a snippet of code, or a wallet address from your Mac to your phone? Or paste long text from your phone onto your computer to edit it? LocalDrop has a dedicated text box — type or paste, pick a device, and the text appears on the other side within a second. It lands straight on the clipboard, ready to paste.

No more sending notes to yourself through messaging apps. No more retyping 20 characters on a virtual keyboard. No more clutter in your inbox.

▸ SCREENSHOTS AND SCREEN RECORDING, BUILT IN

• Capture a region, the full screen, or a single window with a keyboard shortcut (desktop).
• Record video of your screen with the cursor included. Export as MP4 or MOV.
• After capturing, send it straight to your phone or another computer in one click — no need to save to Desktop and attach it through chat.

▸ WORKS ACROSS EVERY DEVICE

LocalDrop runs on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Two-way between platforms — Mac to Windows PC, iPhone to Android, or the other way around. You're not locked into one operating system. The app finds nearby devices automatically — no pairing, no QR codes, no extra service.

▸ PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

• Data goes directly from one device to another over your Wi-Fi. It does not pass through LocalDrop's servers or any other company's.
• Every transfer is encrypted with HTTPS + TOFU, even on public Wi-Fi (cafés, airports, hotels).
• The first time you connect to a new device, the app asks you to confirm so you know you're sending to the right machine. Subsequent transfers are silent.

▸ 10 LANGUAGES

English, Tiếng Việt, 简体中文, 日本語, Español, Français, Deutsch, 한국어, Português, Русский.

LocalDrop is source-available (BSL 1.1 license, automatically converts to Apache 2.0 in 2030). Free for personal and internal business use.
