If you&#x27;ve ever been frustrated that you couldn&#x27;t move a file over 2GB from Windows to Mac with a flash drive, or couldn&#x27;t set up a file share because you didn&#x27;t have WiFi, or find it stupid that we push files up to Dropbox or Drive just to move them 5 feet between laptops, this program is for you. It is encrypted file transfer that goes straight from wireless chip to wireless chip, over ad-hoc WiFi (or Wi-Fi Direct when necessary). Written mostly in Go.<p>I posted this a few months ago when it was just a command line tool, but it now has a GUI and is much more stable. Linux support still forthcoming. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Thanks!
