I built PeerHop — a fast file transfer app between Windows and any device (Download free from Microsoft Store)
peerhop.in
Download from Microsoft Store
Honestly I got tired of sending files through WhatsApp or using web based apps like Snapdrop.
Big files on WhatsApp were especially annoying because everything goes through their servers first, so larger transfers felt slower sometimes.
Other issues I had:
- browser based apps using too much RAM
- some apps needing complicated setup before devices connect
- inconsistent transfer speeds
LocalSend was good but setup/discovery sometimes felt a bit confusing for non technical users
So with PeerHop I tried keeping things really simple.
Just:
- open PeerHop on Windows
- scan QR from another device
- transfer directly over same network
That’s it.
Second device doesnt even need PeerHop installed.
No login/account needed either.
Reached around 65 MB/s during local testing which was honestly pretty satisfying
