24 alternatives to Zynk, a Fast, P2P Encrypted File Transfers and Messaging Across Devices
Hi HN, I’m Marc, founder of Zynk, an application being built by a small bootstrapped team. Zynk is a cross‑platform file transfer + messaging app designed around two things: reliability (auto‑resume) and privacy (end‑to‑end encryption). The project started because I felt it's still a pain to move files and folders across a Linux laptops, a Mac workstation, my phone, countless other devices, and to others. Some existing solutions don't cross ecosystems, cloud drives are slow/inefficient/fragile for big transfers, and a lot of tools fall over when you sleep a laptop or switch…
Zynk is a cross-platform file transfer and messaging application that enables direct peer-to-peer transfers between devices and users with automatic resume capability if connections drop. It uses end-to-end encryption… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Hi all, I'm excited to announce Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark that lets you capture and analyze process activity (system calls) and log messages in the same way that Wireshark lets you capture and analyze network packets. If you would like to try it out you can download installers for Windows and macOS and source code for all platforms at https://stratoshark.org. AMA: I'm the goofball whose name is at the top of the "About" box in both applications, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

i made sink. it's a simple little tool that continuously syncs folders between 2 devices. no cloud, no email, flash drives, no bs. it just uses your local wifi. run it on your machines, tell them to trust each other, and you're set. and if you manage to edit the same file at once, it handles the conflict and saves both copies. for anyone who just wants to get files from point a to b without the headache. hope it makes your life a bit less annoying. github: https://github.com/sirbread/sink binary:…

Hi HN. I built Payload to make file transfers easy for less-technical users who need large/fast transfers, so I have focused on auto-discovery, drag-and-drop, visually distinct device icons. It's using Tauri (an "Electron alternative" built on Rust) which keeps my binaries small and bundles to .msi, .dmg, .deb and .appimage. No CLI, iOS or Android support (yet). The network stack is a separate binary written in Go. It uses mDNS for local network discovery and TLS over TCP or Quic, with a public Ed25519 keypair for each device. The protocol is ad-hoc and symmetrical control stream using…
