About
Wormhole sends files, folders, photos, videos, and text from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to any other device — a phone, a tablet, or a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer — using a short code like 7-guitarist-revenge.
Read the code aloud, type it, or scan it as a QR code. The other side enters it, and the transfer begins. There are no accounts to create, no contacts to exchange, and no cloud storage holding a copy of your files.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• End-to-end encrypted. The code sets up a key that only the two devices know, using a password-authenticated key exchange (SPAKE2). Servers that help the devices find each other never see your files or the key.
• A code works once. An attacker gets a single guess, and a wrong guess ends the transfer for everyone.
• Security codes let you confirm you're connected to the right device.
• Turn off Direct Connections to send everything through the relay, keeping your IP address hidden from the other device.
• No tracking, no analytics, no ads.
WORKS WITH MAGIC-WORMHOLE
Wormhole speaks the open magic-wormhole protocol, so it works with the wormhole command on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and with other magic-wormhole apps. Share a code with a colleague at a terminal, or send a log file from your server to your phone.
SEND ANYTHING

• Items from other apps through the share sheet, or by drag and drop
