Open source · Apache 2.0 · Early development

VniDrop on macOS reviewing a transfer, and on iPhone choosing how to connect: a .vnd file or a QR code.

Built for a handoff, not a cloud.

  • Every platform in the room

    Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux can meet without joining the same ecosystem.

  • No hosted copy

    Files move over an authenticated, encrypted connection. A relay can route bytes but never stores the transfer.

  • Approval by default

    Senders approve invitation downloads by default. Recipients accept offers sent to saved devices. You can cancel a transfer or stop sharing.

How a transfer works

An invitation introduces devices that have never met. A Saved device is one you both chose to remember after a transfer.

  1. Choose what to send

    Files, a batch, or a folder. The original folder structure stays intact.

  2. Introduce the devices

    Share a .vnd invitation, or use QR where supported. The other device opens it in VniDrop.

  3. They still decide

    An invitation asks you to approve each receiver. A Saved device still has to accept. Nothing auto-receives.

Questions

Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup and no login. Devices meet with an invitation, or you send to a Saved device.
Does a copy sit on a server?
No. Bytes stream between the two devices. If they cannot reach each other directly, a relay forwards the connection. It does not keep the files.
What is a Saved device?
After a transfer, both sides can choose to remember the other. Later you can send to that device without a new invitation. They still confirm every time.
Which platforms?
Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. iPhone, iPad, and Mac are on the App Store. Windows has Store and direct downloads. macOS, Linux, and Android also have GitHub downloads.
Can I try changes before a store release?
Yes, when a preview is published. Previews use Release builds for macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android and skip store submission. Choose the preview section on the download page for early testing.
Can I choose which relays to use?
Yes. Network settings offer automatic connections, custom HTTPS relays, or direct-only connections. The guide explains each mode and how to apply changes safely.
