Show HN: Zynk, Cross-platform, private file transfer that works

4•justmarc•1mo ago
Merry Christmas! Your file transfer gift from Santa is here.

I built Zynk because I was tired of file transfer being a "solved problem" that still sucked.

AirDrop? kinda Apple-only. Cloud drives? Size limits? Waiting for uploads? WeTransfer? caps caps caps. Browser uploads? No folders supported? One network hiccup and you start over.

What Zynk does: Transfers files between any devices/OS on your local network, also without Internet connectivity, P2P + E2EE Transfers files between you and anyone else over the Internet, P2P + E2EE Resumable: close your laptop, lose WiFi, switch networks, pick up where you left off End-to-end encrypted (we can't see your files) No size limits, folders, send anything rsync-style, terabytes welcome All platforms supported: Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Android TV, Steam Deck UI for everyday use + CLI for power users and automation Web share and drop links for sharing with anyone via browser Media viewer/player built into the app

I wanted something that "just worked" the way AirDrop does, but across everything I own and the people I care about. Built-in chat and file previews because context can matter when you're bouncing stuff between people. Even my mom uses it and helps with UX (mom test passed).

It's being developed to be a one stop shop tool that is capable of covering any file transfer need and scenario very well. We have a long roadmap ahead. Expect new and unique feature announcements soon.

Free, ad free, with Pro tier available for those who need a lot more. Would love feedback from the HN crowd!

Happy to answer any questions.
