Review

Mar 11, 2026

airtrash is an open-source alternative to AirDrop, enabling peer-to-peer file sharing across devices. It's built using a mix of Electron, Node.js, and C++, making it a cross-platform solution for developers and users seeking a reliable file-sharing tool.

Enables peer-to-peer file sharing across devices, similar to AirDrop.

Maturity: The project is stable at version 1.0.0 but has 12 open issues, indicating some room for improvement.

Community: No significant community discussion found beyond a single Hacker News mention from 2019.

Pros

  • + Open-source alternative to AirDrop.
  • + Cross-platform support thanks to Electron.
  • + MIT license allows for broad usage and modification.

Cons

  • - Lacks auto-updates, which may hinder timely improvements.
  • - Not as feature-rich as native AirDrop.
