Could you build this?
Partial A LocalSend-compatible file sharer is achievable with AI-assisted coding, but shipping a polished native app on five platforms with correct TLS pinning, discovery, and interoperability requires platform-specific expertise and careful protocol testing.
What it would actually take: Start from the open LocalSend protocol spec and implement it in a shared core library, with multicast discovery and HTTPS endpoints using mutual TLS and fingerprint pinning. Native shells then wrap that core for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, with OS-specific file access and background networking. The hard parts are the native mobile and desktop packaging and the networking edge cases (firewalls, Wi-Fi isolation, background limits on iOS), which need experienced systems and mobile engineers to get right.
