> Wormhole File Transfer is a free, open-source file manager for Android and iOS. A simple end-to-end file transfer app. It has 192 GitHub stars and is released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license, and you can install it from F-Droid, Google Play and the App Store.

With Wormhole, you can easily and securely share files of any size, with anyone, anywhere. Whether you're sending a document to a colleague, a photo album to a friend, or a video to a family member, Wormhole makes it simple and secure. Wormhole generates a QR code or a passphrase that the recipient can use to access the files. This eliminates the need for complicated file sharing setups or email attachments. The files are transfered using an end-to-end encryption, which ensures that your files are protected from prying eyes. This means that only the intended recipient can receive the files you send.
