AeroShare

End-to-end encrypted peer transfers with direct and relay paths - Beta.

Encrypted Peer-to-Peer Sharing

AeroShare Beta exchanges end-to-end encrypted files and folders between peers. A direct connection is preferred; a relay may forward encrypted packets if a direct route is unavailable. No cloud storage account is required, but discovery and relay services are still part of the network path.

End to end, straight to your peer

AeroShare uses iroh for encrypted peer communication. Default discovery combines Mainline DHT, n0 discovery and LAN mDNS. Settings offer narrower discovery choices. A relay can forward ciphertext and observe connection metadata without decrypting file contents.

Right where you work

Sharing is always one gesture away: a Discover tile, an "add friend" button in the title bar, a draggable hub and a receiver indicator in the status bar. Saved contacts live in an address book, and every incoming file lands in a per-sender Inbox you can review before accepting.

Privacy on your terms

Choose discovery and receiver settings, review incoming requests, and use sender controls such as mute, friends-only restrictions and rate limits. LAN-only and no-discovery modes have different discovery behavior. A no-discovery choice is not a promise that active transfers or relay connections make no network requests.

Drag, drop, done

Send a single file or an entire folder tree the same way: drop it onto a contact and AeroShare streams it directly, showing live progress on both ends. Because there is no cloud account in the path, there are no storage limits and nothing to clean up afterwards - the transfer is just between the two of you.
