jocalsend
TUI file-sharing tool using the LocalSend protocol
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
jocalsend [-f file] [-t text] [options]
DESCRIPTION
jocalsend is a terminal-based implementation of the LocalSend protocol, providing a TUI for sending and receiving files and text across devices on the local network. It is compatible with the official LocalSend app and any other LocalSend-compatible client.
The tool automatically discovers nearby devices on the local subnet and provides a keyboard-driven interface for selecting recipients and transferring files. No internet connection or account is required — all transfers happen directly over the local network.
CAVEATS
Only works on the local network. Both sender and receiver must be running a LocalSend-compatible client. Tested primarily on Linux; macOS support is expected but less tested.
HISTORY
jocalsend was created by nebkor and is written in Rust using the Ratatui TUI library. It was designed for users who want LocalSend functionality in a terminal environment.
