🚀 LanCast

⚡ Instant LAN File Sharing from your Terminal
No setup. No cloud. No accounts.


✨ What is LanCast?

LanCast is a LAN-based peer-to-peer file sharing tool that runs directly from your terminal.

It starts a local server and allows devices on the same network to discover each other and transfer files instantly.

🌐 Official Website: 👉 https://lancast.zoherdev.xyz


⚡ Installation

Install globally:

npm install -g lancast

🚀 Start LanCast

npx lancast start

or

lancast start

LanCast will automatically:

  • Start server on port 3150
  • Detect your LAN IP
  • Display access URLs
  • Enable device discovery

Example output:

🌐 Local:   http://localhost:3150
📡 Network: http://192.168.1.25:3150

Open the network URL on any device connected to the same WiFi.


🧠 How It Works

No cloud. No external storage. Everything happens inside your local network.
