SafeDrop v0.6.0 — Pre-release

SafeDrop is an Android ↔ Windows LAN bridge focused on a few development and daily-use workflows.

Core workflows

  • PC → Android APK distribution
  • PC ↔ Android Text Inbox
  • Android → PC screenshot and file sharing

Highlights

  • release-signed Android app
  • reusable Android profiles
  • APK/file/Text Inbox launcher
  • Android share-sheet integration
  • safe handling of slow or unavailable launcher app-card paths
  • token-protected LAN endpoints

Requirements

  • Windows PC
  • supported Node.js version from README
  • Android version from project configuration
  • trusted local network

Distribution

  • Android APK
  • Windows server zip

Quick start

Both assets above are required — download both, in this order:

  1. Download safedrop-v0.6.0-windows-server.zip, extract it, and start the server.
  2. Download safedrop-v0.6.0-android.apk and install it on your Android device.
  3. In the app's connection settings, enter the PC's LAN address and the token shown by
    the server, then verify the connection.

Full step-by-step instructions (server config, token generation, troubleshooting): see
the README Quick start.

Security / privacy

  • intended for trusted LAN use
  • token protection for protected endpoints
  • HTTP by default unless HTTPS is explicitly configured
