lanflare-cli

Lightning-fast, cross-platform CLI and interactive TUI for discovering local peers and sending/receiving files across local networks, fully compatible with LocalSend.

Installation

Install directly via Cargo:

cargo install lanflare-cli

This installs both lanflare and lanflare-cli command aliases into your Cargo bin directory.

Quick Start

1. Discover Peers

lanflare scan

Scans the local network using UDP multicast, mDNS, and active subnet sweeps, displaying peer aliases, IP addresses, ports, device models, and protocols.

2. Send Files

Send files interactively with a peer picker and live progress bar:

lanflare send report.pdf photo.jpg

Or send directly to a known IP address:

lanflare send archive.tar.gz --to 192.168.1.120

3. Receive Files

Start an interactive receiver daemon:

lanflare receive

Or run headless auto-accept mode:

lanflare receive --auto-accept --dir ~/Downloads/LanFlare

4. Check Local Status

lanflare status

Displays device alias, port, TLS certificate fingerprint, and active network interfaces.
