How it's private
Every clip is encrypted on your device before it leaves, with a key only your devices have. Clips go through a small server, the relay, which stores them encrypted, can't read them, and deletes them when they expire.
Free to use, or run your own
The apps come set up for the free relay: clips and files up to 10 MB, kept up to an hour. It's run by me as a free service, without an uptime guarantee. For bigger files and longer expiry, run your own relay in a few minutes.
