Magic Wormhole comes close, I think: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

Syncthing is painless, with available local network detection of other clients. If either device has a webcam, the QR codes in the web UI make it quite quick to have a synchronized folder between two systems.

Yeah it's really cool. I tried to introduce it years ago, but something you must pip install is a deal breaker for most people, even python devs. Too many ways to fail. Besides, casual drag and drop is always going to be easier than cli for windows users.
That doesn't work on the local network, does it?
It does if the two peers can negotiate a connection successfully which happens in webrtc signaling
nice !
