Doorstep

Doorstep is an early-stage, open-source local file transfer utility built for Windows and Android that allows you to beam files and folder structures securely between devices without an internet connection. Developed as a powerful enhancement on top of the LocalSend protocol core, Doorstep solves common local sharing friction points by introducing persistent pairing and automated workflows. Instead of manually scanning and rediscovering your devices every time you open the app, Doorstep links your phone and computer permanently through a quick, one-time QR code scan. Key features include:Automated Drop Zones: Map watched folders on your PC to specific devices so dropped files automatically route to their destination (e.g., photos straight to your phone). Live Folder Browser: Directly browse your computer's directory layout from your mobile screen to pull files on demand. 100% Offline & Private: Operates entirely over your local Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot network with end-to-end encryption. No accounts, central tracking servers, or cloud dependencies required. Secure, lightweight, and completely open-source.
