What changed

  • Landing screen now leads with two clear choices, Send and Receive, instead of one generic "Start" button — matches how AirDrop/Nearby Share/Snapdrop frame the same decision.
  • Sending a photo is now the primary action: drag-and-drop, click to choose, or paste from your clipboard, with a live preview before it goes. Sending a link/text is still there, just tucked under a small toggle instead of sitting above the photo option.
  • The paired session opens on whichever tab matches your original intent (tapped Send -> Send tab; tapped Receive -> Receive tab).
  • Removed the default Windows File/Edit/View/Window/Help menu bar from the desktop app — it never did anything useful and didn't match the rest of the design.
