Teleport

Roadmap

We are currently working on an MVP for a native GNOME app that only sends files, but longer term we are interested in doing things like:

  • drag & drop files to send them
  • sending text snippets
  • file transfer progress bars
  • settings dialog
  • file encryption
  • native Android/iOS/macOS/Windows apps
