Deskdrop is built on a simple thesis: make the product highly dependable first, then expansive. Here is a transparent look at what is fully verified, what is currently in active development, and our plans for future expansion.
Our phased approach to building a reliable, zero-cloud continuity mesh.
Stabilizing core pipelines, removing contract drift, and ensuring users can diagnose and recover from network state anomalies effortlessly.
Aligning backend commands and fixing the trust approval flows with device-scoped IDs.
End-to-end SystemHealthState telemetry reporting across macOS, Android, and Windows.
Re-engineering progress math, ACK block sizing, and adaptive latency checks.
macOS clipboard-image IPC stability fix and Android destination path handling.
Wired real-time bandwidth and signal quality metrics into active socket paths to prevent mid-stream pipe breaks.
Detailed breakdown of planned engineering deliverables by component.
Ensuring durable links under real-world conditions like Wi-Fi channel shifts and sleeping daemons.
Cryptographic trust scoped explicitly to device hardware keys instead of network addresses.
Sandboxed, non-invasive copy/paste sync that puts control of the operating system pasteboard in your hands.
Production-grade P2P streaming utilizing robust local chunk encryption pipelines.
Active troubleshooting overlays that offer guided, clickable fixes instead of passive status reports.
Bringing Windows and Linux CLI targets to absolute parity with the reference macOS and Android builds.
Deskdrop's underlying architectural core is fully operational and has passed strict safety/leak audits.
Multicast DNS finds nearby peers locally and instantly without remote cloud accounts.
Full end-to-end data encryption for all text copies and streamed files.
Chunks are capped at 256KB to allow perfect resumes without memory allocation exhaustion.
Incoming sync items are isolated to a sandboxed feed. You decide when to apply to pasteboard.
Natively registers with App Nap APIs to prevent background sync disconnects on Apple Silicon.
Native C bindings communicating via highly optimized JNI callbacks on Android.
Deskdrop is fully open source. All development happens transparently in our primary monorepo.
