Pair your devices once with a QR code. Drop a file into a folder on your PC and it lands on your phone — instantly, privately, and fully offline.
Three steps, two minutes, and you'll never email a file to yourself again.
Your phone and computer just need to share a Wi-Fi router, a wired network, or a phone hotspot. No router configuration needed.
Open Doorstep on your computer and scan the pairing QR with your phone camera. Choose Personal device to stay paired and reconnect automatically.
Drag anything into a Doorstep folder on your PC. It streams straight to your phone, or to whichever device that drop zone is assigned to.
Every feature exists to remove a step between you and your files.
Scan once and your devices remember each other. No IP addresses to type, no setup screens to fight.
Mark a device Personal to keep it connected and auto-reconnecting, or Session-only for a one-time guest handoff.
Point each watched folder at a specific device, so photos go to your phone and work files go to your laptop — not everything, everywhere.
Browse your computer's folders from your phone and pull any file over — no searching through chat history.
Phone → computer and computer → phone, in both directions, with progress and automatic resume.
Transfers are encrypted end-to-end and travel only across your own local network. No server in between, ever.

Doorstep sends data strictly across your own local Wi-Fi router — encrypted, end to end. No remote servers receive your payload, ever.
No port forwarding, no static IPs, no router tweaks. Paired devices find each other automatically over your local network.
