When the receiver cancelled a transfer partway through, the sender kept uploading the remaining files of that batch (the loop continued past the failure), and a newly started transfer never stopped the old goroutine — so the old, cancelled transfer appeared to "carry on". Fixes: - Each send now runs under a cancellable context. A new transfer to a peer supersedes (cancels) any still-running send to that same peer. - A network/session error mid-batch aborts the rest of the batch, emitting a clean Cancel for the un-sent files instead of pushing them anyway. A local file-open error still skips only that file. - Bounded connection timeouts (dial 10s, TLS 10s, response-header 30s) so a vanished peer fails fast; the overall timeout stays off for large files. Test: a receiver whose session is gone (returns 403) causes the sender to make exactly one upload attempt and then abort, reporting the rest cancelled.

Omarchy-Send (omarchy-send)
A LocalSend-compatible file-transfer client with a terminal UI, built for headless Arch / Omarchy servers used over SSH — no desktop environment, no clipboard, no browser. It interoperates with the stock LocalSend mobile and desktop apps on the same LAN, including their default encrypted (HTTPS) mode.
Features
- Discovery — multicast announce/listen on
224.0.0.167:53317plus the HTTP/registerhandshake, with peer aging. - Receive — incoming files are accepted via a prompt (or auto-accepted) and written to the receive directory, with live progress.
- Send — pick a peer, stage files (or whole folders) with a built-in file picker, and upload them with progress, rate and ETA. Folders are sent recursively with their structure preserved on the receiver.
- Manage — browse the receive folder, mark received files (or whole folders) and delete the ones you no longer want, behind a confirmation prompt.
- HTTPS — generates a self-signed certificate whose fingerprint matches the scheme the official client pins (uppercase-hex SHA-256 of the cert DER), so stock encrypted peers talk to it with no configuration.
- Single static binary, pure-stdlib protocol layer; only the Charm TUI libraries are external dependencies.
Install
One line, nothing to clone:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/28allday/omarchy-send/main/install.sh | bash
This downloads the right binary for your architecture into ~/.local/bin, and on
Omarchy also adds a floating Walker entry (search Omarchy-Send). Override the
location with BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin, or pin a version with
OMARCHY_SEND_VERSION=v0.1.0.
The installer is a short shell script fetched over HTTPS; read it first if you prefer — it lives at
install.shin this repo.
Build from source
git clone https://github.com/28allday/omarchy-send
cd omarchy-send
go build -o omarchy-send ./cmd/omarchy-send # or: ./install.sh
Run from a clone, ./install.sh builds with your local Go toolchain instead of
downloading.
Usage
omarchy-send # uses config / sensible defaults
omarchy-send --alias my-server # override the advertised device name
omarchy-send --port 53317 # override the listen port
omarchy-send --dir ~/Downloads # override the receive directory
omarchy-send --auto-accept # accept incoming transfers without a prompt
omarchy-send --pin 2468 # require senders to supply this PIN
omarchy-send --no-icons # drop Nerd Font glyphs (non-Nerd-Font terminals)
Theming
On Omarchy, the TUI reads the active theme's ~/.config/omarchy/current/theme/colors.toml
and matches it. Elsewhere (headless / over SSH) it falls back to ANSI palette
colours, so it tracks whatever colour scheme the connecting terminal uses.
Device name
On first run, each device is given a random, friendly display name such as
"Crimson Quasar" (a colour + a celestial object), generated once and saved.
This avoids broadcasting your machine's hostname to everyone on the network —
handy on a laptop joining untrusted Wi-Fi. The hostname is still carried in the
device-model field, and you can set any name you like with --alias or the e
key in the Settings tab.
Config (including the generated TLS identity) is stored at
~/.config/omarchy-send/config.json. Received files default to ~/Omarchy-Send/.
Unattended / headless mode
For a server that should accept files without anyone at the keyboard, combine auto-accept with a PIN so only senders who know the code can push to it:
omarchy-send --auto-accept --pin 2468

Debugging
Set OMARCHY_SEND_LOG=/path/to/log to record discovery/transfer events to a file.
Notes on iOS
iOS LocalSend decides whether received media lands in the Photo Library based on its own in-app settings; its post-receive "open file" prompt can fail to open files from the app cache. Both behaviours occur identically with the official desktop client and are not controlled by the sender.
