Hi everyone,

I currently use Telegram to send photos, PDFs and text messages between my Android phone and my Debian laptop. It works, but everything goes through a third-party server, and I would like a fully local, privacy-friendly alternative.

What I need: Send photos, PDFs and other files in both directions (phone ↔ laptop) Send short text messages or clipboard content Works locally

Thanks for any advice and experience!

    I ended up with having two problems:

    • my iPhone has too much of empty space (over 70 GB right now)
    • I didn’t find the war and peace you meant (I assume that should be free and huge), only some songs for money

    So I gave up on the task. All I need is to clear cache from built-in apps, like voice memos, as deleting them does not help. Deleting the AppStore app helps, it cleans the cache.
