The only thing is that both devices need to be in the same WiFi net. But it also works on the road when the laptop uses the phones Hotspot.

How do you mean?

Is it vetted by someone reputable?

I am unaware of any independent audit. That being said, it is opensource. Given that and its popularity, I am, personally, quite confident in its safety.

For what LocalSend is designed, imo, it is more convenient to use than
scp
— by quite a large margin.

Anyone have any other cool crossplatform tools to share?

croc is great, works even when devices cant find each other on the network, or with gigantic folders (I use it between computers).
Or Simplex chat, I dont use it to chat but only to quickly share between phone and laptop :)
