Description
Daak (डाक, "post") moves photos, files, and text between your own devices over your local network. Nothing goes through the internet. Nothing goes through a server. You do not create an account. Pair two devices once. Scan a QR code and check that both screens show the same number. After that, pick an item and send it. Features
- End-to-end encryption between paired devices.
- Local network only. No account and no internet relay.
- Files of any size. Daak sends 1 MiB chunks, so memory use stays low.
- Send text and photos as well as files.
- Works with Daak on macOS and iOS.
- Camera: scan the QR code when you pair a device.
- Local network and Wi-Fi multicast: find your paired devices.
- Notifications: show the result of a transfer.
What’s new (0.1.4)
The build is now reproducible: F-Droid and GitHub give the same APK. The APK no longer holds the IP address of the build machine. No other change.
