node-snapdrop [](https://github.com/Bellisario/node-snapdrop/actions/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml)

July 23, 2025 · View on GitHub

Just the original Snapdrop, with complete Node.js server.

Note

We do not endorse any recent changes made to the original Snapdrop, sold to LimeWire & considered badware by uBlock Origin, so we removed all the links referring to it.

This repository acts as a pre-LimeWire & Node.js version of the good old Snapdrop.

Getting started

To get started, clone and cd the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Bellisario/node-snapdrop.git && cd node-snapdrop

Install all dependencies with NPM:

npm install

Start the server with:

node index.js

Public Run

If you want to run in your public "sharable" IP instead of locally, you can use this command:

node index.js public

Tip

Remember to check your IP Address using your OS command to see where you can access the server.
