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 SHA256SUMS first.

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 .deb doesn'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).
