Best app for sending files from devices that need some setup to transfer from one to another. Another win for open source apps.
★★★★★Sierra Frostad· Sep 7, 2026
Solid solution to local file transfer. Built with the exact tech that is designed for this. Easy to use. No fluff. No adverts. No cheese, just dead simple UI. Use it for Mac to Android, Android to Android, and Windows to Mac all the time.

Since the latest update, Local Send has been giving me constant errors whenever I try to transfer videos from my phone to my TV. I mainly use Local Send to send movies and TV series, but almost every transfer now ends with an error. My phone has enough storage, the TV has enough storage, and there doesn't seem to be any problem with the files themselves. This only started happening after the latest update, so it seems like there may be a bug with the app. Please look into this and fix it.

Sending to phone works, sending to computer doesn't. Spent 2 hours trying to figure out why. Everything seems I've done right, did extensive troubleshooting with firewall, ports, built-in troubleshooter. Damn this just stuck!
