What is AirPipe?

Self-hosted file transfer with a passphrase that works anywhere. Files go peer-to-peer between any two devices. The relay never sees your bytes.

How it works in 30 seconds

  1. Sender picks a file. Gets a passphrase like RIVER FALCON MARBLE 42.
  2. Receiver types it at the homepage, runs airpipe download <PHRASE>, or scans the QR.
  3. Both pair through the relay, then the file streams directly between them over WebRTC.
  4. If the receiver isn't online yet, the sender can pick "mailbox" mode instead. The relay holds the encrypted file for 10 minutes.

Same passphrase works for both modes. Receiver doesn't need to know which one the sender chose.
