The Best Data Transfer App.
The ultimate desktop GUI app combining the convenience of Croc with the high speeds and resilience (across the network changes) features of Sendme. Send files/data anywhere instantly across wifi/network changes, resume downloads after network drops and power failure shutdowns.
No signup, no cloud, and unlimited use. Transparent, direct, and completely free.
Combines Croc-style convenience with the modern improvements and raw speed of Sendme.
Automatic resolution of file conflicts using smart hash-matching. No manual renaming required.
Failed or interrupted transfers are instantly resumed with automatic exponential backoff.
Easily select and transfer multiple files or entire folders at the same time.
Want to send a snippet across devices? Sending text is made possible via croc.
Acts like a lightweight, file server. Multiple peers can download the same data simultaneously using your sendme code.
Create completely custom transfer codes as short as 7 characters in Croc and EasySendMe modes.
Instantly generate QR codes for your transfer codes/tickets for frictionless mobile scanning.
Enjoy small, highly optimized executables, typically in the single-digit MB range.
A beautifully clear desktop-first workflow. No browser runtime needed.
Never guess what's happening. Live transfer state and detailed logs are visible right inside the app.
