history

Project history and usage

sendme is a peer-to-peer command-line transfer utility built by Number 0 on Iroh. It sends files and directories using encrypted connections and transferable tickets.

Project history

Number 0 developed sendme as an example application for the Iroh networking stack and the iroh-blobs protocol. It subsequently became useful as a standalone tool for quick file and directory copies.

Adoption history

sendme is available through Homebrew, Nix, Arch Linux, Scoop, and Windows Package Manager. This cross-platform packaging makes the experimental Iroh application convenient as a standalone transfer tool.

How it is used

The sender runs `sendme send` with a file or directory and shares the resulting ticket. The receiver runs `sendme receive` with that ticket. Transfers use direct NAT-traversed connections when possible and relay fallback otherwise; BLAKE3 verification and resumption protect interrupted downloads.

Why package nerds care

sendme gives package and networking enthusiasts a compact demonstration of content-addressed, encrypted peer-to-peer transfer without requiring users to configure addresses or operate a permanent server. It also exposes Iroh's NAT traversal and relay behavior through a simple CLI.

Timeline

Initial development: Created as an Iroh example using the iroh-blobs protocol.
Broader distribution: Added to package managers across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Related projects

Iroh supplies peer connectivity, hole punching, NAT traversal, and relay fallback. iroh-blobs supplies BLAKE3-verified streaming and resumable downloads.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
