Evening project, small tool to transfer files between two devices without having to log-in to anything, install anything or stash files online for the world to see. Yes, there will be bugs.



For file transfers over the internet, https://wormhole.app/ and https://toffeeshare.com/ are often suggested.


While odds are you are telling the truth that nothing is stored, there is still no way I'd ever trust a rando server on the internet to be a middleman to transfer files between my devices.


Absolutely, neither would I (and yet I use gmail) my intention is to drop this off at github at some point (when I have implemented E2E encryption) and let people host it themselves. It's only a few lines, so it should be rather easy to audit before self-hosting it.

I made it mostly for myself (since I have no problem trusting my own server), but thought the concept was neat enough that I'd share the idea.


Yep, good plan - that would definitely resolve the concerns.
