HAMAL for Linux

HAMAL is a fast, private file transfer tool for sending files directly between devices on your local network.

Create a temporary transfer room on your Linux desktop, scan the QR code with another device, and start transferring files — without uploading them to permanent cloud storage.

Simple by design

• Connect instantly with a QR code
• Optional PIN protection
• Transfer files directly over your local network
• Upload and download from any modern browser

HAMAL is designed for quick, private transfers when you don't want to send your files through a third-party cloud service.
