LocalSend shares files and messages between nearby devices over the local Wi-Fi network. The transfer does not go through the internet: devices on the same local network find each other and send files directly to one another. Communication is encrypted end to end using HTTPS.
The app is open source, released under the Apache License 2.0, and the same project is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, so a file can move between different kinds of device without a cable. The F-Droid description notes that it needs no internet connection, carries no tracking and no ads, with the note that the operating system itself may still gather usage data.
This listing covers the Android build. The primary download here is the arm64-v8a build of version 1.18.2. The same version is also available for armeabi-v7a devices (code 642) and for x86_64 devices (code 641); those are variants of this one app, not separate listings.
