history
Project history and usage
AirDash is an open-source peer-to-peer file-transfer application for major desktop and mobile platforms. It establishes connections with WebRTC and transfers files directly between devices, including large files and cross-platform Android-to-Mac or mobile-to-PC workflows.
Project history
Simon Bengtsson developed AirDash as an open-source, cross-platform file-sharing application. The project uses Flutter for its clients, WebRTC for direct transfers, and Firebase services for signaling and configuration. The 2.x release series was distributed through platform stores and attached binaries on GitHub.
Adoption history
AirDash was distributed across the Apple App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, Snap Store, Homebrew, and GitHub releases, covering iOS, macOS, Android, Windows, and Linux from one Flutter codebase.
Its public repository attracted hundreds of GitHub stars and more than one hundred forks, indicating modest but visible adoption among cross-platform file-transfer users and Flutter developers.
How it is used
Users install AirDash on sending and receiving devices, pair them through the application, and transfer files directly over the best available network connection. The packaged application does not document a user-managed configuration or credentials file; repository contributors use project-level .env files for Firebase and optional Twilio setup, which are build/deployment inputs rather than installed-user configuration.
Why package nerds care
AirDash is a compact example of a store-distributed Flutter application also packaged through Homebrew and Snap. Its public build and release notes expose the practical machinery needed to ship one peer-to-peer desktop/mobile codebase across five operating-system families.
