No cloud needed, no mobile data consumed. File Sharing with any devices on the same network (Windows, Android, Linux, iOS, macOS, etc) — Host your Static Sites — Run WebDAV Server locally — With secure accounts, background mode & branding customization.
Hey all, I built PocketServer to tackle a few iOS headaches I kept running into, and thought you might find it useful.
It’s a lightweight app, just over 1MB in download size. Here’s the rundown:
- Share files to any device: Send files to Windows, Linux, Android, or whatever’s on the same network (e.g, same Wifi).
No internet needed, no mobile data consumed. And the other devices don’t need to install PocketServer.
- Run Local HTTP servers: Serve your folder as directory listing, or your static HTML website to devices on the same network. Fully responsive dark and light themes with customizable brand titles, footers, and logos.
- Run Local WebDAV servers: enable your other devices on the same network to browse, add, or delete files in the selected folder on your iPhone.
These servers (File Sharing, HTTP, WebDAV) can run in the background on iOS for seamless files collaboration.
I’ve been using it to exchange files with my Windows PC or test sites without a desktop. It's pretty much free to use. You only need the Pro upgrade ($2.99, one time purchase) if you want some customization.
