Blip is a cross-platform file-transfer app that moves files directly between your computer or phone and the recipient's, with no cloud middleman, no upload step, and no file-size limit. You install the app on each device, pick a contact, and the transfer begins peer-to-peer — files never touch Blip's servers unless a strict firewall forces a relay, and data in transit is encrypted.

It runs on macOS 12.1+, Windows 10+, iOS 15+, and Android 9+, making it a practical AirDrop / Nearby Share alternative when sender and receiver are on different operating systems or far apart on the internet. Reviewers at Cult of Mac, Pocket-lint, and Podfeet Podcasts have called out the speed and the lack of an upload-then-download bottleneck as the main wins.

Made by Blip Studio Inc. Free for personal use; the Business plan is $25 per user per month and adds team features.
