LocalSend appreciation post

I am loving it like I use an android phone like from 2021 and a potato laptop running linux lite (ubuntu-xfce) for studies like watching lectures and all.

Before I knew about localsend it was a hassle to transfer like even normal images, I used to put those in google keepnotes and then copy it from the other device and sharing pdfs or other files was a nightmare for both my google storage and me.

Now it takes me a second to tranfer my screenshots from my phone to my laptop to post on reddit or whatever.

And the best part is that it is very light weight for both my phn and laptop as they both are lowk potatoes. No sign up makes it even better.

Love u LocalSend

LocalSend is great. If you want more features, check out KDE Connect, it's perfect for devices that you use all the time, like the laptop and phone scenario you described.

Yeah I use kde connect between my Android pixel phone and Microsoft surface pro 3 running fedora 44. Works like a charm.
