Why we built NotesQR: The unified P2P stack for web, app, CLI & AI

Hey Product Hunt!

We are super excited to launch NotesQR today!

While P2P file sharing has been around for a while, most existing tools force you to choose between LAN-only limits (like LocalSend or Snapdrop), browser-only rooms (like PairDrop or ShareDrop), or CLI-only developer workflows (like croc or Magic Wormhole).

AMA: private P2P file sharing without cloud archives

Maker here. NotesQR is live P2P over WebRTC: no signup, no product size quota, files aren't kept as a download on our disks. Sender stays online until the transfer finishes.

Happy to answer anything: privacy tradeoffs, folders, CLI/MCP for agents, desktop/extensions, or when you'd still want WeTransfer-style upload-and-store instead.

What's your usual way to send a big private file today between devices WorldWide?

When is "sender must stay online" actually a feature?

Most file tools assume you upload and leave. NotesQR does the opposite on purpose: both peers online, bytes peer-to-peer, nothing sitting in our storage afterward.

Curious where that model wins for you (legal docs, builds, client handoffs, agent workflows) and where it fails.

Would you trade "download later" for "no cloud copy"?

CLI + MCP file handoff for agents (same rooms as the browser)

Same WebRTC rooms as notesqr.com from the terminal:

npx -y github:NotesQR/notesqr-share send ./file.pdf --once

Also folders, and MCP tools for agents. Looking for feedback from people wiring this into scripts/CI/agent loops.

What would make this useful in your setup?

NotesQR - P2P file sharing - Unlimited, Free, Private, Anonymous, NO signup, ZERO storage

NotesQR is free peer-to-peer file sharing over WebRTC: no signup, no size limits, and files are not stored on our disks. Create a room, share a short link or QR, keep the sender online while the other side downloads. Works in the browser, Windows/Mac apps, Chrome/Firefox extensions, plus a CLI and MCP for agents. Unlike upload-and-store tools, both peers stay connected during the transfer. Optional room password, folder share with relative paths, and Close-after-download (--once).
