Editor's Overview

Wormhole is a file transfer application developed by pavelsof, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 25.67 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 25.67 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "pavelsof" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

This is an Android client for the Magic Wormhole protocol. You can use it to exchange files between your phone and another Magic Wormhole client, including the original command-line client.

How to send files

* From the main screen, tap the "send" button. Then use the "choose file" button to pick the file that you want to send.
* Alternatively, open the file that you want to send and tap the share icon: Wormhole should be listed among the apps you can use to share the file.
* Either way, the app will have generated a code, a random number followed by two random words. The person to whom you want to send the file will have to enter this code in their Magic Wormhole client. The code is also copied to the clipboard for convenience.
* Tap the "send" button. When the user at the other end of the wormhole enters the code and confirms, the file will start transferring.
* The "send" button will change to "done" when the transfer is complete.

How to receive files

* From the main screen, tap the "receive" button.
* Enter the code that the sender has provided you with and tap the "connect" button.
* You will see the incoming file's name and size. If all looks good, tap the "receive" button to start the file transfer.
* When the file is downloaded from the wormhole, the "receive" button will change to an "open dir" button.

The app is still in beta and there is still a lot to be desired. However, the basic functionality of sending and receiving files seems to be there. I find it useful, so someone else might as well.

The code is open sourced under GPLv3. Pull requests are welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wormhole free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Wormhole require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Wormhole safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by pavelsof. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Wormhole?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
