A Go implementation of the magic wormhole protocol providing end-to-end encrypted transfer of text, files, and directories between computers using a short human-readable wormhole code. It ships both a CLI tool and a Go API, and is compatible with the official Python magic wormhole client.

Use cases

  • send files securely between computers with end-to-end encryption
  • transfer a directory to a friend using a short code phrase
  • send text messages over an encrypted channel from the command line
  • embed magic wormhole file transfer into a Go application
  • interoperate with the official python magic wormhole cli

When to choose

  • you need peer-to-peer encrypted file transfer without setting up servers or accounts
  • you want a Go library or CLI compatible with the magic wormhole ecosystem
  • you want to send files, directories, or text with just a short code phrase

When to avoid

  • you need persistent hosted file sharing with links and access control
  • you need high-throughput bulk transfer with resumable downloads
  • you need a GUI-based transfer tool
