From reading the app description:
Everything happens locally in the wifi network
Does this mean devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work? This looks extremely interesting as someone that runs Linux on my home computer, and the vast majority of my transfers are between devices on my home WiFi network, but I'd just like to know if it works elsewhere.

Although you could make any local app also work via internet using wireguard, tailscale or similar.
