SwiftDrop

SwiftDrop lets you send photos, videos, documents, and any file type directly between phones over your local WiFi network. No internet connection required, no cloud uploads, no cables — just tap and send.

Works between any combination — Android to Android, iPhone to iPhone, or across platforms.

HOW IT WORKS

Open SwiftDrop on both devices

Make sure both are on the same WiFi network

Tap the device you see, pick your files, and hit send

The other device gets a notification to accept — done

No router? No problem. Use Direct Connect to create a temporary hotspot from your Android device. The other device scans a QR code to join and start transferring immediately.

KEY FEATURES

Cross-platform: Android to Android, iPhone to iPhone, or across platforms

No internet needed: Works entirely over your local WiFi network

Direct Connect: Transfer files without a WiFi router using QR-based hotspot

Fast transfers: Direct device-to-device over TCP — no cloud middleman

Any file type: Photos, videos, music, PDFs, APKs, ZIPs — anything goes

Auto-accept: Optionally skip the accept prompt for faster workflows

Privacy first: Files never leave your network, nothing is uploaded anywhere

SwiftDrop is built for the one thing that should be simple but never is — getting a file from one phone to another, regardless of platform.
