Moving files between devices usually means choosing between a cloud drive, a temporary sharing service or a one-off transfer. loopStream takes a different approach: one device hosts a folder, and trusted devices connect to it.
Turn a device into a private file server
Pick a folder, start the host and pair another device. On a local network, that folder becomes available without first uploading the files to a traditional cloud-storage account.
Pair with a PIN or QR code
Device approval is part of the workflow. A six-digit PIN or QR scan helps establish which devices are trusted instead of exposing the hosted folder by default.
Local when possible, remote when needed
For devices on the same Wi-Fi, local transfer can keep the workflow direct. When remote access is required, loopStream can use an encrypted relay while keeping the original files under the user's control.
Useful across several Apple screens
Support for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV makes the app interesting for media-heavy workflows. A Mac can act as the source while another device browses or retrieves what it needs.
Who should use it?
Creators, developers, households and privacy-conscious users who frequently move large files between Apple devices are the clearest audience. loopStream is less about sending one photo and more about keeping a reusable private path between devices.
