rymdport

For desktop PCs, Rymdport (formerly wormhole-gui) may be suitable. It's cross-platform with pre-built binaries for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows on x86-64 and arm64: https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport

I like the wormhole-william[0] Go implementation of "Magic Wormhole" protocol on the CLI. There's a couple of compatible Android apps[1][2] in the F-Droid store and Rydmport[3] for your GUI loving friends.

If you want go, there is a magic-wormhole implementation called wormhole-william [1]. Rymdport [2] is a decent cross-platform app using it. [1] https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william [2] https://github.com/Jacalz/rymdport

> No, seriously. It’s so simple I thought I missed something. But no. After you run that binary, you have a fully operational node of Syncthing. It’s ready to sync with any other Syncthing node, no other setup necessary. There’s no installers, no package management (but there are packages if you want to), no registration, no email, no logins, no password creation, no 2FA, no consents, no user agreements. The most similar experience I had to this in recent years was using a program called wormhole for peer to peer file transfer: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui It was refreshing in a similar way; I download and open up the program, a friend does the same, and we can send files to each other, with a code genereated from the program. None of all this accounts stuff. (For what it's worth, file sending has a similar issue as backup/sync

TLDR at the bottom. It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w. It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install. So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people. So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3]. Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

croc probably shouldn't be used if you want security: [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27054885 [2] https://twitter.com/Sc00bzT/status/1396199915638992896 Magic Wormhole has a good implementation in Go, which is compatible with the original Python implementation (croc is not compatible with magic wormhole). It has windows binary and binaries for most of the popular OS. https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william Binaries: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/releases There's GUI: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui Android app too: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william-mobile Support for resuming transfers is planned I think.

> if you prefer a locally-installed command line tool and you're sending files to someone who understands the command line There's at least one good desktop GUI for Magic Wormhole[0]. I've also recently released an Magic Wormhole Android app[1][2].

I think it might be worth mentioning that I am planning on adding mobile support pretty soon. Some experimental work has already started on the mobile branch: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui/tree/mobile.
