End-to-end encrypted

Send files and text
between your own devices — privately.

SendSelf is a private, end-to-end encrypted space for your phone, laptop, and tablet. No account required: your content is encrypted on your device before upload, and the server never receives it in readable form.

Why SendSelf

Your content stays yours

Messages and files are encrypted on your devices before they leave them. The server can deliver ciphertext, but cannot decrypt it.

Encrypted before upload

Messages and files are encrypted on your device before they leave it. The server can deliver the ciphertext, but cannot decrypt your content.

No account required

No email or server password. Optionally protect this device with a passphrase, PIN, or passkey.

As many spaces as you need

Keep work, home, and one-off transfers apart: each space has its own devices, history, and encryption keys.

Pair with a QR code

Link a new device through an out-of-band QR flow that securely transfers access to it.

Files up to 50 MiB

Send documents, images, or archives. The server copy is removed after all active recipients acknowledge delivery, or cleaned up within 24 hours.

Local history & offline queue

Your history stays on your devices. Messages and selected files can wait locally, but uploading and delivery require a connection.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

  1. Step 01

    Create a private space

    Start on any device without an account, email, or server password.

  2. Step 02

    Link your devices

    Scan a QR code to add your phone, laptop, or tablet to the same private space.

  3. Step 03

    Send without waiting

    Send text and files when connected; if a recipient is offline, delivery waits until it reconnects, with undelivered server copies cleaned up within 24 hours.

Security model

Built so the server cannot decrypt your content

Messages, files, and file metadata are encrypted on your devices. The service receives ciphertext, public keys, authentication data, and delivery metadata — but not readable content or private device keys.

Create your private space
Content encryption (AES-GCM 256)
A local group key encrypts messages, files, and file metadata. Keys rotate when a device is revoked.
Device identity (ECDH P-256)
Each device creates its own P-256 key pair. Private keys are never sent to the server; an optional encrypted recovery file can restore a device.
Encrypted device pairing
A QR code binds the new device's public key to the pairing. The shared group key is sent only inside an encrypted package.
Temporary server storage
Delivered messages and files are purged when active recipients acknowledge them; a scheduled cleanup removes anything older than 24 hours.
FAQ

Questions, answered

Is SendSelf end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. Messages, files, and file metadata are encrypted on your device with AES-GCM before upload. The server receives ciphertext and cannot decrypt the content.

Do I need an account?

No account, email, or server password is required. You can optionally protect this device with a passphrase, PIN, or passkey.

Can the server read my messages or files?

It cannot decrypt your content. It does receive ciphertext and the protocol metadata needed to authenticate requests and deliver messages.

What is the maximum file size?

You can share files up to 50 MiB. The server copy is purged when active recipients acknowledge delivery; anything left over is cleaned up within 24 hours.

Does it work offline?

Partly. The installed PWA keeps local history available and can save outgoing messages or selected files locally, but nothing is uploaded or delivered until you reconnect.

How do I add another device?

On the new device, choose to link an existing space and show its QR code. Scan it from a linked device; the shared group key is transferred in an encrypted pairing package.

Where are the encryption keys kept?

Private device keys are generated locally and never sent to the server. The shared group key is transferred only to linked devices through encrypted pairing and key-rotation packages. An optional encrypted recovery file can carry a copy for restoring a device.
