Find devices on your own Wi-Fi and send to them without typing a code, keep a record of what you've transferred, and stay reachable while the app is in the background. This release folds in everything from the 0.6.9 pre-release.

Highlights

Nearby - local discovery (#190, #287)
DashBeam finds other devices on your Wi-Fi/LAN over mDNS. Confirm with a short fingerprint, then send files or pair without typing a code. Once paired, you stay connected even after you leave that network. Control who can see you under Settings → Network (Everyone / Paired only / Off).

Transfer history (#296)
A record of what you've sent and received.

QR codes (#252)
Show a QR when sending, and open a QR for receive links, so the other device can scan instead of copying text.

Notifications
Desktop and Android notify you for pair requests and file invites. Banners stay quiet while the app is in the foreground. Turn them off in Settings.

Tray and background presence (#286)
Close to the tray, start at login, and see which paired devices are online from the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows). Android runs a background presence service so it stays reachable with the app closed. Flatpak uses the desktop background portal for autostart.

Pairing polish
Verification codes appear in pairing dialogs, unpairing recovers if a Forget notification was missed, you're offered start-at-login after pairing your first device, and removing a device now shows progress instead of appearing to hang.

Fixes

• Long-standing PC↔Android send failures and mid-transfer "peer went offline" drops (#240, #274)
• Paired control connections timing out after ~30s, and concurrent sessions marking a live peer Offline (#279)
• Nearby: accepting an invite no longer unpairs both devices; declined requests, device names, and mDNS rediscovery are handled correctly
• Android: exports land in Download/DashBeam and open from the app

Full Changelog: v0.6.2...v0.7.0

Connect on the same LAN with Nearby (mDNS local discovery), pair once, and keep that connection even after you change networks. This release also adds invite notifications, background tray presence, and QR codes.

Highlights

• Local discovery (Nearby): DashBeam finds other devices on your Wi-Fi/LAN via mDNS. Confirm with a short fingerprint, then send files or pair without typing a code. Once paired, you stay connected even when you leave that network. Control who can see you under Settings → Network (Everyone / Paired only / Off).

Release highlights

• Introducing paired devices - Pairing runs on a dedicated Iroh control protocol (altsendme/control/1). Devices exchange a pairing code (endpoint id), mutually authenticate with signed identities over QUIC, then persist trusted peers locally. After that, a long-lived control connection carries presence and delivers each share’s usual one-time blob ticket as an in-app invite - pairing doesn’t replace tickets; it routes them over a trusted channel.
• Portable - Adding support for Windows portable ZIP
• Themes - Adding 5 new themes - Midnight, Paper, Ocean, Forest and High Contrast

• UI - Content density under windows DPI - better dimensions on windows
• Context menu - Implement Windows context menu synchronization and cleanup for uninstallation

See the assets below to download and install this version.

Release highlight

• Modern Debian & Ubuntu support. The .deb package now declares compatible dependency alternatives (libayatana-appindicator3-1, libgtk-3-0t64) alongside the older Ubuntu 22.04 names, so it installs cleanly on Debian and Ubuntu 24.04+.

• Fixed settings sidebar header being covered by the custom title bar on Linux.

• #172 Fixed

• #168 Addressed

• feat(tauri): support for modern debian (80f548d)

Release Highlights

• Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use.
• Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname.
• Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer.
• Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other.
• Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7).

• Private relay access control via shared auth token
• Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable
• Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings
