Feem

Feem is a local file transfer application that operates within a Wi-Fi network. It transfers data directly between devices without using cloud servers or an Internet connection. The communication employs TLS encryption to protect files during transmission over the local network.

• Cross-platform transfer. Feem operates on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Devices with different systems can exchange files if they are connected to the same wireless network. No additional network configuration is required.
• High transmission speed. The application transfers files at the maximum speed allowed by the local network. It uses direct connections between devices, which eliminates bottlenecks associated with external servers. The speed significantly exceeds that of Bluetooth.
• No file size limits. There are no predefined restrictions on the volume of data per transfer. You can send large files, such as 4K resolution videos or complete backups. The physical limitation is imposed only by the free space on the receiving device.
• Operation without an Internet connection. Feem works entirely on local networks. No Internet access is needed for the transfer process. This feature is relevant in environments with limited or no connectivity.
• TLS encryption for transfers. All files are encrypted during transmission using the Transport Layer Security protocol. The data does not leave the local network, which reduces external attack vectors. The encryption protects against interception within the network.
• Device selection interface. The application displays a list of devices with Feem active on the network. Each device is given an identifiable name. Selecting the destination for the transfer is done with a click on the corresponding name.
• Transfer history. Feem logs files sent and received. The history includes details such as the date, file name, and device involved. This information allows you to track recent activity.
• Sharing via web link (Feem WebShare). The feature generates a temporary link accessible from a web browser within the same network. It allows sharing files with devices that do not have the application installed. The link deactivates after a certain time.
• Direct Wi-Fi hotspot mode. When no Wi-Fi network is available, one device can create an access point. Other devices connect to this access point to form a temporary local network. Transfers work in this ad-hoc network configuration.
• Clipboard synchronization. Text copied to the clipboard on one device can be pasted on another. The feature requires the application to be active on both devices. It transfers text fragments instantly.
• Text chat between devices. Includes a basic messaging system for communication within the local network. Messages are sent between Feem instances. This function allows the exchange of notes or instructions related to transfers.
• Automatic organization of received files. Incoming files are saved into folders based on their type. Images go to one folder, documents to another. This organization happens without user intervention.
• Device name customization (Pro version). The Pro edition allows assigning permanent, recognizable names to devices. In the free version, names are random. Custom names make identification easier in environments with many devices.
• Background transfer. The application continues sending or receiving files while the user performs other tasks. On mobile devices, the process does not stop if the application is minimized. Notifications inform about completion.
• Drag and drop support. On desktop versions, files can be dragged directly into the Feem window. The application processes the dropped files and prepares the transfer. This action speeds up sending multiple items.

The development of Feem began in 2014. The application was created by a team of developers focused on local productivity tools. The software was written using a combination of programming languages, including C++ for the core components and native languages for the interfaces of each platform. The early versions focused on basic transfer between Windows computers. Over time, the team expanded compatibility to macOS, Linux, and mobile systems.
