quickstart

# machine a — sender
$ dshe send myfolder
imported folder (compressed) myfolder (977.14 KiB)

# machine b — receiver. no ticket needed:
$ dshe receive --scan
  downloading [██████████████░░░░░░] 45.2 MiB/190.7 MiB (7s left)
received myfolder (977.14 KiB) in 3s

how it works

senders announce — a tiny beacon on the local network, every second. no server, no internet.
receivers pick — receive --scan lists everyone sharing nearby. tap a number.
data moves p2p — direct connection (nat hole punching) over quic, relay fallback if the network is hostile.
everything is verified — every chunk checked against a blake3 hash. corruption or tampering fails, always.

flags

--scandiscover nearby senders, pick one interactively

--qrshow the receive command as a scannable qr code

--bg / --bg-stopserve in the background (forever / until first transfer)

--nostopkeep serving for multiple receivers

--noarchivesend folders uncompressed

--resumekeep partial downloads so a retry continues

--relay disabledlan-only mode, fully offline

--debughash, per-file listing, transfer speed

the dead-router recipe

# internet gone, router off, someone in the same room:
# turn on a phone hotspot. both machines join it. then:
$ dshe send --qr ./stuff
# point your phone at the screen.
