## What it is
A Node.js command-line tool that shares files, directories, and clipboard text to phones over local Wi-Fi via a built-in web server and QR code, with no app needed on the receiving device. It also supports receiving files from the phone and one-flag secure sharing with password and HTTPS.

## Use cases
- transfer files from laptop to phone over wifi
- share a folder to my phone without installing an app
- send clipboard text to my phone from the terminal
- receive photos from my phone onto my computer
- download a whole directory as a zip on mobile
- share files privately on local network with a password

## When to choose
- you need to move files between computer and phone quickly with no app or cloud
- both devices are on the same local network
- you want QR-code-based connection and optional HTTPS/password protection
- you need two-way transfer including receiving files from the phone

## When to avoid
- you need to share files over the internet or across different networks
- you need AirDrop-style native integration on Apple devices
- you want a GUI application rather than a CLI
- the devices cannot reach each other on a shared network
