SHAREit works. But it's full of ads, collects your data, and doesn't work on Mac or Linux. Seyfr gives you the same fast Wi-Fi transfer — without any of that baggage.

SHAREit shows ads aggressively — before transfers, after transfers, in the app interface. Seyfr has zero ads, zero banners, zero interstitials. The app has one job: transfer your files.
SHAREit and SEYFR offer different desktop workflows. SEYFR has a native macOS app in the Mac App Store and transfers app-to-app using Iroh networking.
SEYFR offers a Linux AppImage. Compatibility depends on the distribution and system libraries, so test it on the intended machine.
SEYFR is designed for peer-to-peer file transfer. A relay helps the devices connect and steps back when a direct path works. If no direct path can be established, it forwards the end-to-end encrypted transfer without reading or storing the file. See our Privacy Policy for current data practices.
Check SHAREit's current requirements for its supported transfer modes. SEYFR uses an existing network connection. An Iroh relay helps the devices connect, then steps back when a direct path works. If no direct path can be established, it forwards the end-to-end encrypted transfer instead.
If you move files between Android, Windows, and Mac, SEYFR provides a similar app-to-app transfer flow on its supported platforms.
In India, SHAREit and Xender dominate because they're optimized for low-bandwidth environments and Android-to-Android transfers. Seyfr works equally well on Indian networks — it uses Iroh peer-to-peer networking (no JITPOMI cloud-drive upload), transfers at a speed determined by the devices and network path, and has no ads to slow down or interrupt the experience.
Same fast Wi-Fi transfers. Zero ads. Works on Mac and Linux too.
Yes — Seyfr. It's free to use today and has zero ads. Files transfer wirelessly at speed determined by the devices and connection between Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows, and Linux — all without any advertising.
Seyfr is a Xender alternative for users who need Mac or Linux support. For pure Android-to-Android transfers, LocalSend is also good. For transfers involving Mac, Seyfr is a free option.
Do not rely on that as a universal promise. Same-network devices may connect over the local network, but cross-network discovery or relay fallback requires reachable Iroh infrastructure. SEYFR does not require a JITPOMI cloud-drive upload.
SEYFR uses Iroh peer-to-peer networking and encrypts transfer traffic in transit. A relay helps the devices connect and steps back when a direct path works. If no direct path can be established, it forwards the end-to-end encrypted transfer without reading or storing the file.
