Send files between your phone and PC. No internet needed.

Everything you need to move files, nothing you don’t

Works without internet
Transfers run over your local Wi‑Fi. No mobile data, no uploads, no waiting on a server.

Send from your phone to your PC and from your PC back to your phone. Same app, both directions.
Secure or Fast
Choose per transfer: encrypted for any Wi‑Fi, or unencrypted when you want maximum speed at home.
Verify with a code
Both devices show the same short code before anything is sent, so you know you’re connected to the right one.
Chat on the same Wi‑Fi
Message anyone nearby and share small files (up to 10 MB) right inside the conversation.
Transfer history

Questions, answered
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Both devices just need to be on the same local network, like a home Wi‑Fi or a phone hotspot. The internet isn’t used for transfers.
My other device isn’t showing up. What do I do?
Check that both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi, then tap “Restart search”. On Windows, allow BitSwap through the firewall on private networks. Some public or guest Wi‑Fi networks block devices from seeing each other; a phone hotspot is a reliable fallback.
Where do received files go on Windows?
In your Documents folder, under Bitswap, in a sub‑folder named after the sender.
Which mode should I use?
Use Secure on any network you don’t fully control. Use Fast on your own home Wi‑Fi when you want the most speed, especially with older phones.
Why does Windows warn me when I install?
New apps from small publishers don’t have reputation with Windows SmartScreen yet. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
