About this codebase
LocalSend is a cross-platform file transfer system that takes discovered devices and user-selected files from the Dart/CLI/UI apps, drives the transfer lifecycle through Rust core + isolate services, and outputs sent file payloads with progress/status via the server transport layer (plus installer/build artifacts for isolates).
Written by gpt-5.4-nano from the index
613 files and 4,009 symbols in 5 modules, led by Dart (278 files) and Rust (107).
Code health
This codebase scores 5.6 out of 10 for code health, which we rate fair. It also scores maintainability 7.9 and static performance 9.9 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 114 of 613 files are git hotspots, and they average 3.0 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Small effort
Improve what Repowise can see
Add a test coverage report
Without one, Repowise cannot tell tested code from untested code, so every test-related action says “unknown”.
- line coverage
- Unknown, no report

Use localsend/localsend in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/localsend/localsendOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.
Docsclaude mcp add --transport http repowise https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/localsend/localsend \ --header "Authorization: Bearer rw_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
This repo is public, so anyone with a Repowise account and an API key can connect.
Try asking
- get_overview()
- get_answer("how is localsend put together?")
- get_why("why is localsend structured this way?")
Prefer local? pip install repowise && repowise init indexes your own checkout, no account needed.

The repo's health score out of 10, from the latest index.
[](https://repowise.dev/repo/localsend/localsend?src=badge_health)Code health card
A larger card with the score, its change since the last index, and when it was measured. The HTML version follows the reader's light or dark theme.

An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop This page is a map of the localsend/localsend repository, written primarily in Dart, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 613 files and 4,009 symbols in 5 modules, led by Dart, Rust and C++. Code health is 5.6 out of 10, rated fair.
