Shoot

Why Your Phone Still Can't Share Files Properly

Sending a large video to a friend? Transferring documents between your phone and laptop? Most built-in tools either compress files, require a cloud upload, or simply fail on oversized data. Shoot by BitTorrent solves this by giving you direct, peer-to-peer file transfers over your local network—no internet required, no file size limits, and no quality loss.

Core Transfer Capabilities

Shoot transforms your device into a direct file-sharing node. The app scans your local Wi-Fi network for other devices running Shoot, then establishes a direct connection between them. This means your files travel from sender to receiver without ever touching an external server. The result is transfers that are often 10–50x faster than Bluetooth or cloud uploads, especially for large media files like 4K videos, RAW photos, or project archives.

• No file size cap: Send multi-gigabyte files without splitting or compressing.
• Zero quality loss: Photos, videos, and documents transfer in their original resolution.
• Auto-discovery: Finds nearby Shoot devices on the same network instantly.
• Cross-platform: Works between Android, iOS, and desktop devices seamlessly.
• Background transfers: Keep sharing while using other apps or with the screen off.

Key Advantages Over Other Transfer Methods

• Speed parity with wired connections: Uses your full local Wi-Fi bandwidth (typically 200–1200 Mbps on modern routers). A 1GB file transfers in approximately 10–30 seconds.
• No data caps: Since transfers stay on your local network, they don't consume mobile data or count against ISP limits.
• No account required: Open the app, select a file, choose a recipient—that's it. No sign-up, no login, no ads.
• Multi-file batch transfers: Send entire folders or selections of hundreds of files in one operation.
• Transfer history: Browse a log of all sent and received files with timestamps and sizes.
• Smart error recovery: If a transfer is interrupted, it resumes from where it stopped rather than restarting.

Technical Specifications

• Protocol: Uses BitTorrent's proprietary peer-to-peer discovery and transfer protocol optimized for local networks.
• Encryption: All transfers are encrypted end-to-end using AES-256.
• File types: Supports any file type or extension—documents, archives, executables, media, and more.
• Network requirements: Both devices must be on the same local subnet (same Wi-Fi network). No internet connection needed.
• Battery impact: Optimized for low power consumption during transfers; background scanning uses negligible battery.
