Hi everyone,

I currently use Telegram to send photos, PDFs and text messages between my Android phone and my Debian laptop. It works, but everything goes through a third-party server, and I would like a fully local, privacy-friendly alternative.

What I need: Send photos, PDFs and other files in both directions (phone ↔ laptop) Send short text messages or clipboard content Works locally

Thanks for any advice and experience!

Is Syncthing on android still trustworthy? The main developers abandoned the project, now it's a 3rd party that maintains the fork. I know it's open sourced, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's safe now.
