See exactly what data the CLI sends during license verification — and what it never sends — in plain language, not legal prose.
Read transparency docsVerify your download
Every release ships with SHA-256 checksums and has been scanned by VirusTotal. These let you confirm the binary has not been tampered with and is free of known malware.
SHA-256 Checksums
Compare the hash of your downloaded binary against the published checksum to confirm integrity.
# 1. Fetch the official checksums directly from the API curl -sL "https://localbridge.theneritic.com/api/trust/checksums" > checksums.txt # 2. Compare the output (Linux/macOS) shasum -a 256 localbridge-linux-amd64 cat checksums.txt | grep linux-amd64
Ensure the hashed output of your downloaded binary exactly matches the hash provided by the API.
GPG Signatures
Every binary also comes with a detached GPG signature (.asc file). You can cryptographically verify it was built by The Neritic.
# 1. Import our release key (one time) curl -sL "https://localbridge.theneritic.com/api/trust/public-key" | gpg --import # 2. Download the signature for your binary curl -fL -o localbridge-linux-amd64.asc "https://localbridge.theneritic.com/api/trust/signature/linux_amd64" # 3. Verify the binary gpg --verify localbridge-linux-amd64.asc localbridge-linux-amd64
A successful verification will output: Good signature from "LocalBridge Release Signing Key"
VirusTotal Scan Results
Every release binary is uploaded to VirusTotal and scanned by 70+ antivirus engines before distribution.
Last scanned: v1.0.7 — 2 false positives from CrowdStrike (heuristic grayware flag) and SentinelOne (static ML), both common with Go-compiled binaries. View full report
How it fits against alternatives
Local Bridge wins when you want a browser-friendly share from a folder that already exists on your machine. It loses when you really want long-lived hosting, cloud storage, or a fully CLI-to-CLI transfer tool.
Google Drive / Dropbox
Best at: Persistent cloud storage and asynchronous sharing after an upload completes.
Local Bridge fit: Better when the files already live on your machine and you need a browser-friendly link without waiting on an upload.
croc
Best at: One-shot CLI-to-CLI transfer between technical users on both ends.
Local Bridge fit: Better when the recipient should open a browser, browse a directory, or come back to the link later.
nginx
Best at: Long-running hosting, reverse proxying, custom domains, and full web-server control.
Local Bridge fit: Better when you want one-command sharing from a laptop or workstation without DNS, TLS, or server setup.
Where to go next
If the proof matches your workflow, the next step is simple: read the quickstart, review the docs you care about most, and buy the First 100 Founder Pass on Whop when the repeated workflow fits.
