Description

Package name

localsend

Package homepage

Description

LocalSend allows for wireless file transfer with HTTPS encryption. It's a very handy tool that can serve as a replacement for WI-Fi Direct on newer and older phones (WI-FI Direct is hard to use on some Android devices).

Since Flutter is not available on Void repositories, it is hard to compile from source, and the AppImage version of LocalSend is quite slow and inconvenient to use.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled

Is the requested package released?

Yes
