A note from the maker
Why this tool exists, in the developer's own words.
Share Via WiFi started with a very ordinary frustration. I was sitting a few feet away from my own laptop, trying to move a handful of photos from my phone — and the "easiest" option was to upload them to a server on another continent, wait, and download them back. Two devices on the same desk, on the same network, and my files had to travel thousands of kilometres to cross one metre.
That felt absurd to me. Our devices are already connected to each other through the network in our homes and offices. The technology to let them talk directly — WebRTC — ships in every modern browser. What was missing was a simple, honest tool that put it to work: no app to install, no account to create, no cloud in the middle, and nothing to pay.
So I built one. Share Via WiFi transfers your files directly from one device to another over your local network. My server only helps the two devices find each other — your files never touch it, and I could not read them even if I wanted to. That is not a marketing promise; it is how the architecture works.
I care about software that respects people: their time, their privacy, and their intelligence. No dark patterns, no data harvesting, no artificial limits designed to upsell you. Just a tool that does one thing properly and gets out of your way. If Share Via WiFi saves you a USB-stick hunt or an unnecessary cloud upload, it has done its job.
Thank you for using it. If you have feedback, an idea, or just want to say hello — my door is always open.
