Open-source apps that replace WeTransfer
PsiTransfer is a self-hosted file sharing website that lets you send large files to others without creating an account. It is for people or teams who want to run their own file transfer service instead of using a paid one.
LocalSend is a free app that lets you send files and messages to nearby devices over your own local network, without needing the internet. It is for people who want to share files between their own or nearby computers and phones quickly and privately.

Fix the list itself
A project or closed app missing from this list, or a mistake on it? These open a short form on GitHub, and a mod reviews it. To say what a project can't do, use What's missing.
About this page
Replaces fully means it does the main job of these apps; Replaces partly means it covers some of it.
Licenses: every project here uses an open-source license (what each one means). Open core means some parts are paid or under another license.
GitHub stars are shown for reference. They measure popularity, not whether it replaces anything.
Verified means r/TrueOpenSource mods checked it: open-source license, maintained, and it really does the job.
