LanlordMove files between your phone and PC

Lanlord moves photos, videos and other files between your phone and your PC over Wi-Fi, at full quality. Everything lands in a shared folder on the PC, and your phone can open that folder from its browser whenever it needs something.

Windows 10 or 11 · Any phone or tablet with a browser · Same Wi-Fi
Version 1.0.0, released September 21, 2026

Lanlord runs on Windows. To install it, open diestro.dev/lanlord on your PC.

Lanlord on a phone: shared files in a list, the same files in a grid, and a full-screen photo

Getting started

  1. Unzip and install

    Right-click the zip, choose Extract All and keep the folder somewhere permanent, like Documents. Then run Install Lanlord.

  2. Connect your phone

    Lanlord opens in your browser. Under Settings there's a QR code; scan it with your phone, then add the page to your Home Screen.

  3. Send files

    Use Upload on the phone, or drag files onto the page on the PC.

About the Windows warning

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Questions

Is there an AirDrop for Windows?

Not from Apple. Lanlord covers the same ground: share a photo on your phone and it appears on the PC a moment later, and the phone can pull files back.

Do I need an app on my phone?

No. Lanlord is a page your PC serves to the phone's browser. Added to the Home Screen, it opens like an app.

Will my photos and videos keep their quality?

Yes, Lanlord doesn't touch the files. iOS does convert videos picked from the photo library, though; to send the original, share it with Options, then Current, through the Lanlord Shortcut.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. The phone and PC only need to be on the same network.

My phone can't reach the PC.

Check that both are on the same Wi-Fi and not a guest network. In Windows, set the network's Network profile type to Private, and pause any VPN.

Is Lanlord free?

Yes. It's open source under the MIT license.
