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).
We built NotesQR to bridge all those worlds into one unified, cross-network P2P suite.
Why NotesQR takes P2P to the next level:
All-in-One Multi-Client Ecosystem: Access the exact same WebRTC room model via Web, QR code, Browser Extensions (Chrome/Firefox), Desktop Apps (Mac, Windows & Linux), CLI, and MCP for AI agents.
True Folder Sharing & Trees: Share full directory trees with per-file downloads, so receivers don't have to download everything blindly.
Internet-Wide (Not Just LAN): Works seamlessly across different networks over the internet without being restricted to the same Wi-Fi.
Zero Friction & Security First: Instant transfers via QR code, optional room passwords, zero signups, and end-to-end P2P (no files stored on our servers).
🔍 We put together a full breakdown comparing NotesQR with other popular P2P tools (LocalSend, PairDrop, FilePizza, Magic Wormhole, etc.): 👉 See how NotesQR compares to P2P alternatives
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Try generating a room or connecting via QR/CLI, and let us know what features you’d like to see next!
