**AlterSend** is now generally available. Send files directly between your devices — peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, no accounts, no servers, no size limits. ## Highlights - **Cross-platform** — native apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android - **End-to-end encrypted** — only your devices can read your files - **No size limit** — send a 5 MB photo or a 500 GB video archive, same flow - **No accounts, no servers** — pair two devices with a QR or join code, files transfer direct - **Open source** — Apache-2.0 ## How it works 1. Open AlterSend on two devices 2. One shows a join code (or QR) 3. The other scans or types it 4. Files transfer directly, peer-to-peer Discovery uses [Hyperswarm](https://github.com/holepunchto/hyperswarm) (DHT); transfers run over [Hyperdrive](https://github.com/holepunchto/hyperdrive) — encrypted, content-addressed, resumable. ## Known limitations - macOS DMGs are signed but **not yet notarized** — first-launch Gatekeeper warning requires right-click → Open. Notarization is in progress with Apple Developer Support - Windows `.exe` installer is unsigned — use the Microsoft Store link above for a signed build - Mobile
