Why PWA

We could ship a native app. We chose not to.

Native apps mean app stores, review queues, install friction, and update delays. For a tool that should work in 10 seconds, that's the wrong tradeoff.

Native app

Slow, gated, fragmented

  • ✗ Wait for Apple/Google review (days)
  • ✗ 30-100 MB install
  • ✗ Separate codebases for iOS, Android, Windows
  • ✗ Users miss updates (manual)
  • ✗ 15-30% revenue cut on paid features
FileTransferNow PWA

Instant, open, universal

  • ✓ Ship in seconds — no review queue
  • ✓ ~2 MB install (less than one screenshot)
  • ✓ Same codebase everywhere
  • ✓ Auto-updates in the background
  • ✓ No middleman ever takes a cut

Ready to install?

Open FileTransferNow on the device you want to install it on, and look for the install prompt — usually in the address bar or share menu.
