FileApex is a file-sharing app I built for one job: moving files between my own devices without handing them to a cloud service first. Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Docker nodes — they all talk to each other directly.

Why

I tried the alternatives first, and each one had a catch. LocalSend only works on the same network, with no way to opt in to anything else. Blip was slow to get a transfer started when I tried it. KDE Connect works, but outside Linux it felt buggy to me, and the interface looks dated.

FileApex covers what I actually wanted: the same fast local transfers, plus reach over the internet through Tailscale or Iroh when I'm away, resume after a dropped connection, clipboard and notifications across devices, and no account required.…
