ONYX v1.6-beta: NearLink LAN Sync & Local Authentication (lemmy.world)

The main reason I started implementing NearLink was simple: I was tired of constantly syncing data between my own devices through traditional server-based flows.

For a messenger focused on privacy, routing Favorites through a cloud backend felt wrong.

How NearLink works

NearLink allows you to sync your Favorites (notes and saved chats) directly between devices.

My personal use cases:

Fast transfer of images, videos, and files between devices over LAN
Synchronization of Favorites (saved chats and notes)
QR-based local authorization between devices
Faster testing workflow without creating separate accounts for every device

I intentionally limited this system to local networks only in order to reduce unnecessary external attack surface.

Other updates in v1.6-beta

NearLink Authentication
QR-based login designed for local network environments
Per-chat locking
Chats with individual passwords

Release

Full release notes and binaries are available on GitHub:
