What is Tether - File sharing?

Tether is a cross-platform file transfer app that lets you send files directly between devices, wherever they are. Unlike cloud-based solutions, Tether uses peer-to-peer connections so your files go straight from one device to another, they never pass through a server.

  • Cross-platform: Works across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Peer-to-peer transfers: Files are sent directly between devices. Nothing is uploaded or stored on external servers.
  • End-to-end encrypted: All transfers are encrypted, so only your devices can access what you send.
  • No Compression, No Limits: Send any file type, any size, in full original quality.
  • Works over any distance: Unlike AirDrop or LocalSend, Tether works whether your devices are on the same network or on opposite sides of the world.
  • Simple setup: Sign in, link your devices, and start transferring. No configuration needed.

Tether is the missing link between AirDrop's simplicity and the flexibility of sending files across platforms and distances, without the privacy trade-offs of cloud storage or third-party servers.
