I have had this app idea (cross platform AirDrop) on my “want to build” for a very long time. To see it on the App Store, and then to have it “just work” the first time I tried it, was amazing! Thank you to the developer(s) for filling this gap and doing it so well!I have tried with Linux, MacOS and iOS and so far so good.The automatic device names are a nice touch.My only suggestion is to make the sharing interface a bit more intuitive- the difference between files, copy/paste, single file vs multi file, was not clear to me. I got the hang of it but something about the flow feels “off”. Perhaps consider other software for copying files as UX inspiration?Also great to see Flutter being used so effectively for a cross platform application.Thank you!!!
Better than Macdroid by far!

Very simple to use and pretty quick, much like "Airdrop". The only small issue I've had is video files corrupting on the odd occasion, that's easy to fix by running the "corrupt" video through handbrake.
Quite Good.

When it works, it works well.It can be a little aggravating to setup but is much more consistent once sorted. May not be as user-friendly as others but the privacy benefits are worth it.
