PastePoint is the fastest way to move text and files between your devices — and the people next to you — without the cloud, accounts, or waiting on an upload. Everything travels directly device-to-device over your local network using a peer-to-peer connection, so transfers move at local-network speed and never touch a server. When you close the app, nothing is left behind. WHY PASTEPOINT • Peer-to-peer — files and messages go straight between devices, not through the cloud • Encrypted in transit — connections are secured end-to-end • No accounts, no sign-up — just open the app and share • Nothing stored — identities are ephemeral and sessions disappear when you leave • Any file type & size — photos, documents, archives, anything • Works with the web app — share between iPhone, iPad, and any browser in the same room • Free and open source HOW IT WORKS • Public rooms: open the app on two devices on the same network and they connect automatically • Private rooms: start a private session and share the code or QR to invite exactly who you want • Send a message or drop in a file — the other side accepts and it transfers directly Great for sending photos across the table, moving a document to your laptop, sharing between iPhone and iPad, or handing a file to a colleague on the same Wi-Fi — all without email, cloud drives, or cables. PastePoint keeps sharing simple, fast, and private by design.
