AirDropReworked (ADRW) is a local file transfer app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Devices on the same network find each other automatically — just pick a peer, select a file, and it lands directly on their machine. The receiver gets a prompt to accept or choose where to save it. No internet required, no accounts, nothing installed except the app.

This project uses AI

AI assistance (Claude) was used throughout the development of this project as a coding and debugging partner. The core architecture, feature decisions, and implementation were driven by me. AI was used to accelerate specific tasks rather than generate the project wholesale. AI was not used to develop any feature. Mostly it was used for identifying issues and helping my with specific problems. The README was also generated by Claude. The GitHub actions workflow was also by Claude.

Built AirDrop Reworked — a cross-platform local file transfer app because I was tired of emailing myself files between Windows and Mac. Devices on the same network discover each other automatically via mDNS, you pick a peer, select a file, and it transfers directly peer-to-peer. The receiver gets an accept/decline prompt before anything touches their machine. Built with Tauri 2, React, and a Python/FastAPI sidecar for the discovery and transfer logic. Windows, macOS, and Linux all build via GitHub Actions.

Wohoo! We have a first working version (the base structure). We can run it and a window appears. Some bugs still left but the sidecar works and the frontend boots!

Currently using npm run tauri dev!
