File transfer doesn't need to be complicated

!AltSendme working demo

A free and open-source file transfer tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge peer-to-peer networking (https://www.iroh.computer), letting you transfer files directly without storing them on cloud servers.

Why rely on WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive when you can reliably and easily transfer files directly, end-to-end encrypted and without revealing any personal information?

Features

• Send anywhere – Works seamlessly on local networks or across continents.
• Peer-to-peer direct transfer – Send files straight between devices, with no cloud storage in between.
• End-to-end encryption – Always-on protection with QUIC + TLS 1.3 for forward and backward secrecy.
• No accounts or personal info – Transfer files without sign-ups or exposing private data.
• Transfer anything (https://www.iroh.computer/proto/iroh-blobs) – Send files or directories of any size or any format, verified with BLAKE3-based integrity checks.
• Resumable transfers – Interrupted downloads automatically resume where they left off.
• Fast & reliable – Capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for lightning-fast transfers.
• NAT traversal via QUIC (https://www.iroh.computer/docs/faq#does-iroh-use-relay-servers) – Secure, low-latency connections using QUIC hole punching with encrypted relay fallback.
• CLI integration – Interoperable with the Sendme CLI (https://www.iroh.computer/sendme).
• Mobile & web – Coming soon.
• Free & open source – No upload costs, no size limits, and fully community-driven.
