I was forced to go digging for a solution that supported Mac, iOS, Android and Windows. Localsend is available through the app stores and on github. I haven't had much occasion to use it yet, but here's another to add to your lists: https://github.com/localsend/localsend

I use localsend almost everyday, mostly for copying images/PDFs between my Macbook Air and 3 Android devices.

So far works great, no issue.

This looks impressive. Much less clunky than the Syncthing's interface and doesn't look as buggy as KDE Connect on my first try. The real test would be moving my 95GB DCIM folder from Android to Windows. Let's see how that goes.

Localsend works really well so far, no issues with device discovery. I use it within our (heavily firewalled) intranet for offline file transfers between machines; particularly where you can't just scp something.

I'm also a big fan of LocalSend! I've tried several tools in the category of "easy cross-platform file/text sharing over LAN," and LocalSend really stood out as the most polished option.
