#### Fast, private, temporary file transfer between devices

HAMAL is a fast, private file transfer tool for sending files directly between devices on your local network.

Create a temporary transfer room on your Linux desktop, scan the QR code with another device, and start transferring files — without uploading them to permanent cloud storage.

Simple by design

• Create temporary transfer rooms
• Connect instantly with a QR code
• Optional PIN protection
• Transfer files directly over your local network
• Upload and download from any modern browser
• See transfer progress and download status
• Automatic room expiration and cleanup
• Participants can close the room when finished
• Dark and light themes
• 20 languages

HAMAL is designed for quick, private transfers when you don't want to send your files through a third-party cloud service.

Open source

Source code, documentation, releases and issue tracking are available on GitHub.
