Doorstep v1.0.0 — First public release 🚪
Doorstep is a LAN-only file bridge: pair your phone and laptop once with a QR code, drop files into a folder, and they arrive on your phone automatically — no internet, no cloud, no accounts. Built on the LocalSend protocol (Apache-2.0).
What's inside
- QR pairing — scan once, auto-reconnect forever; works over Wi-Fi or hotspot
- Trust levels — when you scan a device, choose Personal (persistent, auto-reconnects) or Session-only (one-time, no reconnect). Revoking a device asks for confirmation first
- Drop zones — point each watched folder at specific devices instead of broadcasting to everyone
- Live folder browser — browse the laptop's files from your phone without loading forever
- Phone ↔ laptop transfers in both directions over encrypted mTLS
- Simple loading screen — one clean overlay per transfer batch, with live progress
