You can't really do this on the web as devices can't directly connect to one another. You need some signalling server to bootstrap the transfer. However almost all of these WebRTC services will actually do the transfer locally if both devices are connected to the same network and can talk to one another directly.
So you would need a native application.
Yes but I was talking about the same network :)
LocalSend does exactly what I wanted
