Could you build this?

Partial The launcher UI and clipboard manager are straightforward, but LAN device discovery, encrypted peer-to-peer file transfer, and cross-platform file indexing are hard to get right and secure without deep networking and cryptography experience.

What it would actually take: Use a native or Electron/Tauri desktop shell with a local file indexer (SQLite FTS) and an mDNS/UDP discovery layer for paired devices. Transfers need a vetted protocol, such as Noise or TLS with mutual certificate pinning, plus NAT and firewall handling on each OS. The hard part is the security design and cross-platform networking, which benefits from a senior systems or security engineer to review before release.
