## What is PairCarry?

PairCarry sends photos and videos straight between nearby iPhones and iPads. Everything goes directly from one device to the other — no servers, no account, and no loss in quality.

ORIGINAL QUALITY, NOTHING LEFT OUT
• Photos, Live Photos and videos are sent as their original files. HEIC, ProRAW and HEVC video are never recompressed
• Capture date, location and original file names are kept
• Edited photos arrive as edited

TAP AND SEND
• Nearby devices with PairCarry open show up on their own. Tap one, pick your photos and videos, and send
• Or select items in the Photos app, tap Share and choose PairCarry
• On iPad, drag photos or videos onto a device to send them

FAST AND STEADY
• Devices connect directly over peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi. No shared network needed, and no cellular data used
• If the connection drops, it reconnects and picks up where it left off — nothing already received is sent again
• Send up to 500 items at a time. Large videos start sending right away
• On iOS 26 and later, transfers keep going in the background when you switch apps

NOTHING ARRIVES WITHOUT YOUR OK
• You're asked before anything is received: accept, decline, or always accept from that device
• "Always Accept" is tied to the other device's encryption key, so a renamed device can't pretend to be one you trust
• Everything is encrypted end to end and saved only to the receiving device's library

ALWAYS READY TO RECEIVE
• Just open PairCarry to receive. Receive Mode keeps your screen awake so others find you easily
• Jump into Receive Mode from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Control Center (iOS 18 and later), Shortcuts or Siri
• Your transfer history is kept, and you can preview received photos and videos right away

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
PairCarry has no accounts, and your photos and videos never go through a server. The developer can't see your photos, videos, device name or transfer history.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL PRO UPGRADE
Every transfer feature is free. The free version shows an ad at the bottom of the home screen, and you can watch one ad video to try the color themes for 24 hours. A one-time PairCarry Pro purchase removes ads for good and unlocks:
• 8 color themes with matching app icons
• A custom avatar: pick an emoji and a color that nearby people see when they find you
• Album sorting: received photos go into a PairCarry album, an album per sender, or an album you choose
Pay once. No subscription.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Both devices need PairCarry installed and open
• Wi‑Fi must be turned on for both devices (no network connection needed)
