Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
You first start one server on a desktop/laptop which has the software, and then any client (Android, iOS, PlayStation, Kindle, etc) with a web browser (no need to install any client software) can upload or download files from it.
You can download prebuilt binaries for x86-64 Linux, Windows, or Mac OS (sorry, no prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, but they could be added if there is sufficient demand) from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/ or compile from source using a nightly rust toolchain if you prefer.
Compared to cloud services or `python -m http.server 8000`, this is extremely fast since the server is written in rust, it is fairly simple (compiled and stripped binary is typically less than 3MB), it sends everything over local LAN, it seems to handle large files (over 4GB) fairly well, and you only need to install the software on one machine.

Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
If you don't have a network connection, you can setup an adhoc hotspot on any Android 9+ (Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108) or iPhone (Settings > Personal Hotspot), then connect to it using any WiFi-enabled device.
A useful filesharing utility that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver - it's basically a nicer version of:
python -m http.server 8000
-
Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
Basically just start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).
Download prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/
Or install from source if you prefer:
# install rust toolchain
-
LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
A similar utility (much more bare-bones though) that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver
It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and therefore should probably work on FreeBSD as well if you can install a Rust toolchain:
pkg install curl
-
OpenDrop: An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
Another option (also not Airdrop compatible) is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver which is a Rust (Rocket) web server that you can run on a local machine. Open a browser and navigate to the machine's IP address at port 8000 to upload/download files from the web form.
