Send files between any two devices.

No app. No account. No cloud storage.
Open. Scan. Send.

Move photos, videos and documents between them. The other person does not have to be in the room — share a one-time connection link instead of the code.

Three steps: a code appears on one device, the other device frames it in its camera, and the files move between them. OPEN SCAN SEND

Cross-platform

An AirDrop alternative that isn’t limited to Apple

AirDrop stops at the edge of Apple’s hardware. Sending a video from an iPhone to a Windows laptop still means a cable, a cloud account or an email to yourself.

iPhone to Windows. Android to Mac. Phone to PC, or PC to phone. The two devices do not need to be paired in advance, signed into the same account, or even on the same Wi-Fi — being on the same network just makes it faster.

Where the files go

Straight to the other device

There is no upload step, and no copy left sitting on a server afterwards.

Files are encrypted on the sending device and travel directly to the receiving one whenever the network allows it. When no direct route can be found, the encrypted stream passes through a relay that cannot read it. Either way the link expires by itself, and nothing is kept.
