## What is Wormhole?

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
• Photos and videos at full quality, straight from your library
• Any file or folder from Files, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, and other providers — folders are compressed automatically, as ZIP or a tarball (.tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz)
• Text and links, typed or pasted
• Whatever is on your clipboard, with a preview before it goes
• Items from other apps through the share sheet, or by drag and drop

RECEIVE ANYWHERE
• Type a code with word suggestions, paste it, or scan its QR code
• Preview a transfer's name and size before accepting
• Save to any folder you choose, including iCloud Drive
• Optionally add received photos and videos to your library

BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
• Transfers keep running in the background, and several can run at once
• Open Wormhole from Control Center or the Action button, or with Siri and Shortcuts

AT HOME ON THE MAC
• Drop files on the Dock icon to send them, with progress right on the Dock
• Send from the Share menu in Finder
• Transfers open in a sheet on the main window, with a tray for the ones you hide, or in windows of their own

ON EVERY DEVICE
• History of what you sent and received, with Send Again
• Use your own mailbox and relay servers if you prefer
