CLUSTER BETWEEN-DEVICES-TRANSFER-2 · 26 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-03-16

Cross-device file transfer apps

This cluster comprises web, mobile, and desktop tools for sending files between devices or people, often without an account and sometimes with encryption or one-time codes. Dated entries before the index start show an isolated entry in January 2013, then none until April 2024, followed by two entries in April 2025, one each in March and July 2026, and one in April 2024—shaping as a long quiet period then a recent re-emergence, though the overall dated history is sparse. Among traction leaders, moon-cast leads with 6 stars, followed by sendanywhere with 2 and beam-my-stuff with 0.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
