About

RelayPony

Features
Read full description

Send files from one device to another, privately. RelayPony is an encrypted file transfer app for photos, videos, documents, folders, text and links. Pair two devices once, then send between them over Wi-Fi or over the internet. No account, no sign-up, no cloud copy of your files. HOW IT WORKS Pair two devices by scanning a QR code or typing a short word code. From then on, pick what to send and tap the device. Nearby devices connect directly over your Wi-Fi network. Devices on different networks connect over the internet, directly when they can, or through a relay that only ever sees encrypted data. WHY RELAYPONY • End-to-end encrypted with the age encryption standard. Only the paired device can open what you send. • No account, no sign-up, no cloud storage. The relay passes encrypted data along and keeps nothing. • Only paired devices can send to you. Anyone else is turned away and listed, so you can pair with them if you want to. • No size limit set by the app. Send one photo or a whole video library. • Folders, text and links. Folders arrive as a zip you can extract to Files, and links arrive ready to open. • Share from any app. RelayPony is in the share sheet, so photos, documents and links go straight to the device you choose. • Run your own relay server if you prefer. It is open source too. • No ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases, no analytics. • Open source, so anyone can check exactly what the app does. WORKS ACROSS PLATFORMS RelayPony 4 pairs and sends between iPhone, iPad and RelayPony 4 on other platforms, with the same QR and word codes. PRIVATE FILE SHARING, NOT FILE HOSTING Nothing is uploaded to a server you have to trust. A nearby transfer never leaves your network. An internet transfer is encrypted on your device before it goes anywhere, and the relay cannot read it. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE RelayPony is available in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese. PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY The camera is used only to scan a pairing QR code, on your device. Local network access is used only to find and connect to the device you are sending to. Your files leave your device only as the encrypted transfer you choose to send. relaypony.app
