## Description

File Transfer App lets you securely share files between iPhone, iPad, PC, and nearby devices over a local WiFi network. It supports two transfer methods: an in-app web page served by your device for browser-based transfers, and direct device-to-device transfer that doesn’t require a browser. All transfers stay on your LAN and never touch third-party servers.

Features include a built-in File Manager, ZIP creation/extraction, photo import/export, HEIC-to-JPG conversion, and music playback with playlists. Transfers preserve photo metadata and can be performed completely offline. The app also offers Dark Mode and an Ad-Free option for a smoother experience.
