Blip

Better and more flexible than Localsend

This app is so good. Arguably the best way to send large files between devices or between friends and family members. It has a whole bunch of features. Better even than an AirDrop.

Blip is one of those tools that just works. It makes sending files—any size, even entire folders—fast and effortless by using your full connection speed. What really stands out is its reliability: even if your connection drops, transfers resume seamlessly without starting over.

From real-world use (iPhone → Android), the experience feels almost instant and incredibly smooth—no friction, no complicated setup.

Verdict: If you need a simple, fast, and reliable way to transfer files across devices, Blip is genuinely impressive.

I've been using this app for about a year now and I've loved from the very first time I used it to send a file. You can link your phone or laptop or any compatible device for fast and easy inter-device sharing. Add friends to send them stuff when chat programs have unreasonable size limits.

It's free and incredible. It's blazing fast too! I don't know how exactly their protocol layers work, but it feels like it sends things with zero overhead and basically is immune to ping lag. I have a 1Gbps internet connection and my friend has 300Mbps and she was able to receive things on her end at the full 300Mbps capability of her connection.

Yeah, I'm definitely nerding out over here and could glaze it further (lol) but it's simply the best option if you're looking for a file transfer app for almost any reason.

Would be nice if it had a watch folder feature. That'd be cool. Set folders for it to monitor and auto-send whatever gets put in them to any specified device. Not sure if they'd be interested in doing that but I'm sure more than just me would use something like that. Would be great for auto-sending pics from phone to PC without having to tinker and a dozen other purposes. Also, the sign-in process is kinda unique and weird, but I'm sure there's a reason behind it. Anonymity perhaps?

Anyway, just grab it and give it a try :) You won't regret it.

It's consistent, doesn't need setting up after initial installation, works with multiple devices/people without faff, no limit on file size, completely inobtrusive, and simply does what it advertises, does it damn well, and doesn't have any other bloat or try to sell extra features. Oh , and it's completely free.

Very fast, smooth, slick, responsive native apps. Beautiful light & dark mode. Dead simple to use. It's cross platform.

Registration only requires email. No passwords, no real name, nothing else. The app just send you a login code to your email. They'll have you set up a display name, so your friends can send files to you, but you can turn that off.

It's absolutely free with no limits for personal use. Instantly fell in love.

This is a native app. No clunky & resource hogging Electron webapp here which is a very pleasant surprise for desktop apps these days, and it looks absolutely gorgeous too, fits right in as a Windows app, which is so rare these days. It's super slick & responsive. After using this, I can say that this is a quality app. What more can I say? Just a great app. Instant heart,
