Field notes

Bluetooth assists with finding nearby machines, while Wi-Fi or Ethernet carries the data. The page specifies Apple-silicon Mac support and Intel/AMD x64 Windows support, plus resumable transfers and integrity checks. It lists a €9.99 one-time license for up to five of the purchaser’s own computers.
