Voidwire v1.1.0
Voidwire 1.1.0 takes the Linux app out of beta and adds a few things on every desktop.
Linux is out of beta
- The Linux app (.deb and AppImage) has had a full round of hands-on testing on GNOME and KDE Plasma and is no longer marked beta.
- GNOME and KDE: where the desktop doesn't let apps set keys, Settings has Add shortcut and Remove buttons that put the send-clipboard shortcut into your desktop's own keyboard settings, plus a button that opens those settings.
- AppImage: from this version on, an in-app update also puts the new version number in the file name (the update to 1.1.0 itself keeps the old name). If you renamed the file yourself, your name is kept.
New on desktop
- Start Voidwire when I sign in: a new setting (off until you turn it on). Voidwire starts in the tray without opening a window.
- The send-clipboard shortcut is now Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V by default, so it no longer clashes with "paste as plain text". If you picked your own keys, they stay.
- Sends to: choose which device the shortcut sends to, and it goes straight there with no question. With only one paired device it goes to that one. If you unpair the chosen device, it goes back to asking.
Browser extension
- The extension is now on Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Chrome, Brave and Firefox still load it from the download.
Not yet
- macOS is coming soon. No iOS app.
Security
- Voidwire has not been independently audited. Report vulnerabilities privately as described in SECURITY.md, not in a public issue.
Verify downloads with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing (Linux) or Get-FileHash (Windows).
Built from 1ee235a.

Voidwire v1.0.1
Voidwire 1.0.1 fixes problems found in hands-on testing of the Linux app. Linux is still in beta. Windows, Android and the browser extension get the same version number but no changes you'll notice.
Linux (beta) fixes
- AppImage: after an in-app update, Restart now opens Voidwire again. Before, the new version didn't start.
- AppImage: an update no longer leaves the old image mounted, and links you open no longer pick up the AppImage's own libraries and theme.
- KDE Plasma (Wayland): the send-clipboard shortcut no longer sends old clipboard text. If Voidwire can't read the current clipboard, it sends nothing.
- Files (Nautilus): right-click Send with Voidwire works again. Before, it failed for every file.
- A send that fails while the Voidwire window is hidden (from the tray or the file manager) now shows its error instead of failing silently.
- GNOME: the send-clipboard shortcut is shown as Ctrl+Shift+V instead of
<Shift><Control>v.
Not yet
- No macOS or iOS app yet.

Voidwire v1.0.0
Voidwire 1.0.0 is the first stable release: send links, text and files between your own devices, end to end encrypted, with no account.
Everywhere
- Pair any two devices (PC and phone, PC and PC, phone and phone) with a QR code or a short
VW-…code, confirmed with a 6-digit code on both screens. - Direct connection on your local network first; otherwise an encrypted relay that can't read what you send. Use the public relay or run your own (Docker or plain binaries, see
docs/self-host-relay.md); each pairing can use a different relay. - No account, no phone number, no telemetry. Optional history and diagnostics are off by default.
- Signed in-app updates on Windows, Android and the Linux AppImage. The apps reject any update that isn't signed with a pinned key.
Windows 10/11 (x64)
- Tray app with Send with Voidwire in Explorer's right-click menu. Sends links, clipboard text and files, and receives them (files after you accept).
- The installer isn't code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn. Check
SHA256SUMSfirst.
Android 8.0+
- Share from any app's share sheet, scan pairing codes, receive links, text and files.
- Not on Google Play or F-Droid: install the APK directly.
Linux (beta), x86_64
- The same tray app as on Windows, as a
.deb(Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+) or an AppImage, with Send with Voidwire in Nautilus, Dolphin and Nemo. - Beta: Linux has had less testing than Windows and Android. Please report problems in Issues. The
.debdoesn't update itself; the update check opens the release page.
Browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox)
- Send the current tab, a link, selected text or your clipboard. It talks only to the Voidwire app on the same PC. Not in the extension stores yet: load it unpacked (Chromium) or as a temporary add-on (Firefox).
Not yet
- No macOS or iOS app yet.
Security
- Voidwire has not been independently audited. The protocol, threat model and their known weak points are documented in the repository.
- Report vulnerabilities privately as described in SECURITY.md, not in a public issue.
Verify downloads with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing (Linux) or Get-FileHash (Windows).
