Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
I made the android† port of Wormhole William[1] specifically to help transfer some encryption keys that I didn't want to ever live unencrypted on a server in the cloud.

†: There's also a working iOS port but its not released on the App Store because of how hostile Apple makes that process to open source developers.

Tailscale changes its Android app to support the open source Headscale server
That is totally fair. I will say that I got quite a lot of value from being able to see how tailscale-android works when building my own gioui app[0]. I suspect that being able to see the same thing for a modern iOS app would be useful to some small set of developers, even if they couldn't produce a fully working tailscale binary on their own dev machines.
It really does feel like Apple just doesn't care that their app policies are hostile to developers because they have such a strong monopoly on mobile app distribution.

GPG-Tui, a Terminal User Interface for GnuPG
TLDR at the bottom.
It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w.
It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install.
So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people.
So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3].
Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

TLDR: ask them to install [5] and [6].

Try it, it's usage is cute and really feels like magic.

Wormhole-crypto: Streaming encryption based on Encrypted Content-Encoding
> the other uses client-server cryptography pretending to be end-to-end
This is misleading and false. Wormhole.app uses end-to-end encryption. It's factually incorrect to imply otherwise.
To address the larger point – auditing a web app is indeed challenging with current web technologies. In the past, I experimented with a technique using App Cache to permanently cache a web app on first use [1]. Later, that technique was expanded into hyperboot [2] to give users the benefits of explicit, immutable versioning with control over upgrades using the html-version-spec while preserving the simplicity of passing around a URL.
With the impending removal of AppCache from most browsers, the web is currently missing a way to "pin" a site to a specific version and only update it with user consent. Service Workers come close but they mandate a 24 hour maximum cache time before refetching from the server.
We'd love to offer the usability benefits of web apps – you can give someone a URL and they can immediately load the app – with the security of installed apps – doesn't change without warning – once web standards catch up. This is something that I care deeply about.
In the meantime, use magic-wormhole if you prefer a locally-installed command line tool and you're sending files to someone who understands the command line. Use Wormhole.app if you want usable end-to-end encryption, similar to what Firefox Send used to provide.
