Aktar is a free, open-source app for instantly sharing files through your own S3-compatible storage. Drop a file and Aktar uploads it to S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, MinIO or similar storage, then copies the shareable link to your clipboard. Works with any file: screenshots, logs, builds, videos. No accounts, no intermediary servers, and your files stay in your own storage. Available on Mac, Windows and iOS, with Android coming soon.

Could you build this?
Yes A desktop utility (e.g., using Electron or Tauri) that handles file drag-and-drop, calls the AWS S3 SDK with user-provided credentials, and writes a URL to the clipboard is straightforward to vibe code.
