I’ve used this and localsend, both are great, but has anyone finally solved the problem of making one of these things that can use a GUI (for phones and tablets) and also a CLI (for when I’m SSHed into my home computer and need to send a video to get processed by something)?

Wormhole William is available for Android devices:

I need iOS and iPadOS. Although ideally there’d be a GUI that could work on all of the “mainstream” OSes, since most of my problem here is that I frequently need to move files between devices in different walled or unwalled gardens.

For desktop PCs, Rymdport (formerly wormhole-gui) may be suitable. It's cross-platform with pre-built binaries for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows on x86-64 and arm64:

If you don't mind unencryption or are okay with encrypting/decrypting things yourself via standard tools (don't worry you could probably create a shell alias to do that for you in ssh)

Then I genuinely recommend piping-server https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server

Personally I don't really mind the unencryption as I mean I just use it to pass videos or any software and I don't really think that there are any security concerns but its also really easy to encrypt / decrypt as well so I genuinely recommend it

It can actually work out of the browser and in the ssh server by using curl / maybe even wget but no guarantees. Both standard tools.

https://piping-ui.org/ There is this website which has a better ui

And you can self host the server as well and these ui's are just static pages which you can view the source code of

No CLI yet but mobile & desktop support (yes, including Linux), LAN & online: https://payload.app/

Focused on speed, so good for video. (If your transfers don’t saturate the network I treat that as a failure and a bug to be fixed - please report if speed is ever lacking)

There are several different clients available for Magic Wormhole, including GUIs and phone apps: https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ecosystem.ht...
