Cross-platform content sharing in a local network
OTHER License
Blazing fast content transfer within a local network.
Lets you transfer plain text, send from or receive into your clipboard.
Supports transfer of multiple files, directories and large files - content is sent chunk by chunk and never read into memory entirely.
Lets you send files whose paths have been copied into the clipboard (more details in the docs).
Cross-platform, works on Linux, Windows and Mac (CLI and Web Interface), and also supports mobile (Web Interface).
Uses Multicast-DNS service registration and discovery - so you can access content with human-readable code words.
Can be used as a module in other Python programs.

Link-local Name Resolution (for the .local
addresses) on non-Apple devices requires Avahi (on Linux) or Bonjour (on Windows). Chances are you already have them, but if you don't, do check the web on how to install them.
Android browsers do not have inbuilt Multicast-DNS service discovery, and cannot resolve the .local
addresses. For this reason, we included QR Code support, for you to visit the URLs easily.
Windows users with Python < 3.8, use Ctrl + Break to quit, as Ctrl + C will not work. This is a known issue with asyncio
, which has been fixed in Python 3.8. If you do not have a Break key, try using Ctrl + Fn + B, or check the web for other alternatives (depending on your PC).
