I just had an idea for a cool application, and I wonder if it already exists? Something like https://file.pizza (peer-to-peer file transfers in a browser) but without needing to keep a browser window open. The way I imagine this, you'd have an app you'd open, choose a file, select various options (password protection, whether the file should expire after one download or allow multiple downloads, etc.), then you get a unique link you can share with whomever. The difference here is, as soon as you have the link, the app minimizes to the System Tray or other equivalent on non-Windows platforms. Anyone can then visit that llink to download the file direct from you, no servers involved in the actual file transfer, and everything is end-to-end encrypted. As soon as any expiration conditions you've set are met or you manually close the app or reboot, the link is permanently broken. Does such a beast exist?

I already know about https://wormhole.app. However, that site does store copies of your files if they're less than 5 gigabytes, albeit in an end-to-end encrypted form. I also know about the Wormhole command line utility, but again, IIRC this requires keeping a window open while transfers take place.
