I can see myself using this to move files quickly between a desktop and a laptop or vice versa by ignoring the QR code and just putting in the port.
Alternatively you could try the gfycat method by appending a few adjectives and a noun to create a readable but nonsensical phrase: https://gfycat.com/enlightenedpositiveasianporcupine https://gfycat.com/enlightenedpositiveasianporcupine
But IMHO If security on your own network is so intense that a random app opening temporarily on a random local port is a security concern then this app isn't for you.

- Zenbit_UX 9y agoSure that's useful, thanks. Although his app handles both use cases (desktops & phones).
- jakobegger 9y agonc is probably already installed on your desktop, though
