There is also Magic Wormhole [1] which is not in-browser.

[1] https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole



And https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william which is a Go reimplementation of the client. I only want to point this out specifically because an apt-install of magic-wormhole on Ubuntu 24.04 actually results in a program that does not work (the beauty of python dependencies at play?)


It's really amazing to me how successful Python has been given its dependency management and package installation tooling


Pretty sure the snap version of wormhole works. I use it from time to time as well as the go binary.


If someone has ported the server I'll run my own instead of taking the bandwidth.


There is: https://wormhole.app/ for the browser if one needs it.


Other readers, please do note that (the unfortunately named) wormhole.app is unrelated to the frequently recommended, heavily peer-reviewed and much longer-standing magic-wormhole.


exactly!

Was just looking for such comment because I knew about wormhole.app is not on top of wormhole protocol itself.

Thanks for your comment , may it help other people.


Didn't knew that. Thanks a lot!


Not to be confused with https://webwormhole.io/, which is open-source
