Duet sends what matters from one phone to another β€” and gets out of your way. Pick a file, a contact, a Wi-Fi password, a 2FA setup code, or any text. The sender shows a QR code; the receiver scans it. For larger files, the two phones connect directly over your local network. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, and nothing ever touches a server. No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. No cloud. WHY DUET β€’ Reliable by design β€” built to finish the transfer, every time. β€’ Truly private β€” your data goes phone-to-phone, never through us. We can't see it because it never reaches us. β€’ Zero clutter β€” no ads, no upsells, no β€œcreate an account” wall. WHAT YOU CAN SEND β€’ Files of any kind β€” documents, photos, videos, archives. Streamed directly, so size isn't a problem. β€’ Wi-Fi credentials β€” share your network without reading the password aloud. β€’ Contacts β€” send a contact card that drops straight into the other phone. β€’ 2FA / authenticator setup codes β€” move your TOTP seeds to a new phone. β€’ Plain text and links. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Small items travel in a single QR code β€” scan and done, no network needed. β€’ Larger items use animated QR or a direct local-network link between the two phones. Your data stays on your local network; it never goes to the cloud. β€’ Every transfer is encrypted end-to-end. For the local-network mode, both phones show a quick visual match-check first, so you know there's no one in the middle. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY β€’ Data Not Collected. No analytics SDKs, no ad SDKs, no trackers. β€’ No internet connection is used to move your data. β€’ Transfer contents are never written to permanent storage. Duet is free, and it stays free. No subscriptions, no β€œpro” paywall on the core transfer.
