Send files and text between Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, tablets, and smart TVs without installing a receiver app.

No cloud account and no cable are required. Start LocalHub, scan the QR code, and open the local page in any modern browser.

SHARE ANY FILE FROM ANDROID

• Share documents, archives, PDFs, folders, photos, videos, audio, and other file types from Android apps to LocalHub.
• Photos, videos, and audio are added to the media library; other file types become downloadable in the browser.
• Add one or more files directly from File Management.
• Upload files from a browser back to your Android device with clear progress.
• Free users can transfer files up to 50 MB each. Premium removes the per-file size limit.

CROSS-DEVICE CLIPBOARD (PREMIUM)

• Share text between Android and every connected browser.
• Copy links, notes, addresses, and short messages without retyping.
• Shared text stays only in the current LocalHub server session and is cleared when the server stops.
• All connected devices in the current session can view the shared history.

MEDIA STREAMING

• Play videos and music from your phone in a computer or TV browser.
• Stream locally without downloading the complete file first.
• Seek within supported video files using range requests.

SCREEN AND CAMERA STREAMING

• Mirror your Android screen to a browser for presentations, demos, teaching, or support.
• Share the phone camera feed in real time.
• WebRTC provides low-latency viewing on the same network.
• Choose 480p, 720p, or 1080p according to your network and device.

PRIVATE LOCAL CONNECTION

• Receiver app and receiver-side account are not required.
• Transfers stay on your local WiFi or hotspot instead of being uploaded to a public cloud.
• Optional access password protects the browser page.
• Automatic server shutdown helps limit how long the sharing session remains available.
