What is Deskdrop?

A private local network for all your devices.

Deskdrop securely connects your devices over local Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots to instantly sync clipboards, files, camera feeds, and incoming call alerts—completely offline and without cloud servers.

2. Pair & Trust

Instant discovery.
Persistent trust.

Deskdrop uses secure local Multicast DNS (mDNS) to locate your devices in milliseconds on your local subnet. Works seamlessly over any standard local Wi-Fi network or direct mobile hotspot connection, completely offline.

Deskdrop uses local mDNS to discover your devices instantly over Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots, completely offline.

3. Background Auto Reconnect

No manual triggers or repeat logins. Once paired, devices natively register cryptographic keys and reconnect in the background the moment they detect each other.

Once paired, devices register cryptographic keys and auto-reconnect in the background.

4. Seamless Mesh Syncing

Relay your clipboard text copies, files, call notifications, and battery status metrics instantly. Operates at absolute sub-millisecond local network speeds.

Sync clipboard contents, files, notifications, and battery metrics instantly over secure local links.

Timeline-First Clipboard.

Most sync apps silently overwrite your OS clipboard. Deskdrop isolates incoming data into a sandboxed Activity Feed.

Preview items, review who sent them, and explicitly apply them when you're ready. Complete control over your workflow.

Unlike traditional apps that overwrite your OS clipboard, Deskdrop isolates incoming items into a secure, sandboxed feed so you can preview before applying.

LocalSend-class file transfer.

Built directly into the continuity layer. Files are chunked into 256KB encrypted blocks and streamed peer-to-peer. Resumable natively.

Encrypted, chunk-based peer-to-peer file streams with native resume support.
