There is a gui called wormhole-gui by Jacalz for wormhole-william, which is the Go implementation of magic-wormhole. An Android app called Wormhole William is available on the Play Store. Sending/receiving files between Android and desktop running the original magic-wormhole is also possible.
Although it's still only a CLI tool, I'm baffled at the simplicity this brings for file-sharing across the web. Data is sent without a middleman (aside from a small string identifying the computer sending the data) and encrypted.
Secure, reliable, and occasionally, depending on your PAKE passphrase, fun!
