Need to send files to non-Apple devices? 🎉 In this bite-sized Freedom Tech Weekend episode, Marks streams from an airport layover to show how anyone—on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, or macOS—can swap files instantly without AirDrop.

We compare two open-source, cross-platform tools:

LocalSend – a polished desktop & mobile app that uses local Wi-Fi to beam files peer-to-peer with no central server

Magic Wormhole – a CLI powerhouse that transfers anything from photos to entire folders by exchanging a simple one-time code

You’ll learn how AirDrop actually works and where LocalSend or Wormhole shine—especially offline situations with mixed company. Drop a comment if you’ve tried either tool and tell us what privacy-first tech you want next week!
