Projektgeschichte

AlterSend was developed as a free, Apache-2.0-licensed application for sending files directly between devices. Its official implementation is a monorepo containing desktop, mobile, web, relay, and shared packages.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Official clients cover macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, while browser links let recipients download without installing the application. The project also distributes the macOS client through Homebrew Cask and documents Flatpak and AUR installation routes.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users pair their own devices with a QR code or join code, or create a browser link for another recipient. Transfers work on a local network or across the internet and can resume after interruption. Relay-routed and browser-link transfers have service limits, while direct transfers remain unlimited.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

AlterSend is notable to package users as an open-source, cross-platform alternative to cloud-backed transfer services. Its package-manager story spans Homebrew, Flatpak, and the AUR, while its peer-to-peer design avoids making temporary cloud storage part of the normal transfer path.

Zeitleiste

• Current distribution: Official builds are offered for desktop and mobile platforms, with Homebrew Cask documented for macOS.

Related projects

• LocalSend and Blip are comparable direct-transfer applications; WeTransfer, Dropbox, and Google Drive represent the cloud-upload workflow AlterSend explicitly contrasts with.
