No cloud, no account, no sign-up: open the app and start sending.

Most nearby-sharing apps stop the moment you leave the same Wi-Fi. KiteSend keeps going: send files over the internet to another phone or computer anywhere, with a QR code or a simple link. Near or far, your files travel directly between devices — never through cloud storage.

SEND FILES YOUR WAY
✓ Nearby over Wi-Fi — devices on the same network find each other automatically; tap one and send at full local speed
✓ Anywhere over the internet — share files with a QR code or a link, whatever the distance
✓ Android to Android, and Android to any computer — the receiver just opens the link in a browser; nothing to install on a PC, Mac or Linux
✓ Photos, videos, documents, big files — moved in a few taps

SEND TEXT, NOT JUST FILES
✓ Send a password, Wi-Fi key, address or note to another device the same secure way
✓ Received text is kept in memory only and never saved to disk — copy it and it's gone

WHY KITESEND
✓ Works anywhere — nearby over Wi-Fi or worldwide over the internet, not only on the same network
✓ No cloud storage — files travel directly between devices, peer to peer
✓ Always encrypted — every transfer is encrypted in transit; internet transfers add end-to-end AES-256 encryption
✓ No sign-up — no account, no email, no personal data required
✓ QR code receive — scan and start receiving in seconds
✓ Share from any app — send straight from Gallery, Files or your browser
✓ Background transfers — keep sending while you use your phone
✓ No size limit on direct transfers — move large videos or a whole folder of photos

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY SENDING
✓ Send photos and videos to another phone, near or far
✓ Transfer files from your Android phone to a PC through the browser — no USB cable
✓ Share documents, PDFs and work files with a colleague across the country
✓ Pass a password or a long link to another device without a messaging app

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your files (or type a short text)
2. Tap a nearby device, or create a QR code / link to send anywhere
3. The receiver accepts and the transfer starts — direct, private, encrypted

If you want secure file transfer without cloud uploads, accounts or waiting — nearby or across the internet — KiteSend keeps it fast, private and simple: between Android devices, or from Android to any browser. ## Rankings - #1,885,530 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `it.rovo.kitesend.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Snapsend - WiFi File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.snapsend.wifishare) — 27 users - [Sendit - Send Anytime Anywhere](https://chrome-stats.com/d/nikhil.sendit) — 833,173 users, 4.13 / 5 - [QuickSend: Fast Data Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.quickshare.share.shareme.fastshare.easyshare.filetransfer.transfer.backup.app) — 59 users - [ZipSend - Local File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zipar.zipsend) — 15 users - [File Sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.swt.file_sharing) — 97 users - [Share Files – Fast Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ultimatrics.sharefiles) — 25 users - [SendMyFile - File Transfer App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hakanbasakcioglu.sendmyfile) — 3,497 users - [SendMe: File Transfer & Share](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.skywave.sendme) — 95 users - [Local Sender: File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.localsender.androidshare) — 38 users - [Send You](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.soranex.sendo) — 4 users - [Send Anywhere (File Transfer)](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.estmob.android.sendanywhere) — 38,269,852 users, 4.50 / 5 - [File Transfer: Quick share](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.xunijun.transfer.filshare) — 89 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/it.rovo.kitesend)
