Nearby Sharing for Linux 🎉

June 2, 2026 · View on GitHub

This is a small gtk 4 (+ libadwaita) gui allowing you to send and receive files and urls to and from Windows 10 / 11 devices using the Connected Devices Protocol.

Tip

You don't need to install anything on Windows as this is the native Windows Nearby Sharing protocol.
