New in version 4.0.0
RelayPony 4 is a redesign with stronger pairing.
• New Home: pick Files, Photos, Folder or Text, then choose who gets it
• Receiving is automatic while the app is open
• Pair with a QR code or a short word code, both ways at once
• Only paired devices can send to you, unless you allow others in Advanced
• Send folders. Text and links arrive with Copy and Open
• Unpair from Settings, and the other device is told
• Works with RelayPony 4 on iPhone
• Security hardening throughout
Send files from one device to another, privately. RelayPony is an encrypted file transfer app for photos, videos, documents, folders, text and links. Pair two devices once, then send between them over Wi-Fi or over the internet. No account, no sign-up, no cloud copy of your files.
AN AIRDROP ALTERNATIVE THAT WORKS BETWEEN ANDROID AND IPHONE
RelayPony 4 on Android and iPhone pair and send to each other. Android to Android, Android to iPhone, phone to tablet: the same app, the same pairing.
HOW IT WORKS
Pair two devices by scanning a QR code or typing a short word code. From then on, pick what to send and tap the device. Nearby devices connect directly over your Wi-Fi network. Devices on different networks connect over the internet, directly when they can, or through a relay that only ever sees encrypted data.
WHY RELAYPONY
• End-to-end encrypted with the age encryption standard. Only the paired device can open what you send.
• No account, no sign-up, no cloud storage. The relay passes encrypted data along and keeps nothing.
• Only paired devices can send to you. Anyone else is turned away and listed, so you can pair with them if you want to.
• Wi-Fi file transfer with no size limit set by the app. Send a photo or a whole video library.
• Folders, text and links. Folders arrive as a zip you can extract safely, and links arrive ready to open.
• Wi-Fi Direct for when there is no shared network.
• Run your own relay server if you prefer. It is open source too.
• No ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases, no analytics.
• Open source, so anyone can check exactly what the app does.
PRIVATE FILE SHARING, NOT FILE HOSTING
Nothing is uploaded to a server you have to trust. A nearby transfer never leaves your network. An internet transfer is encrypted on your device before it goes anywhere, and the relay cannot read it.
SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
RelayPony is available in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese.
PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY
The camera is used only to scan a pairing QR code, on your device. Nearby-device and Wi-Fi access are used only to find and connect to the device you are sending to. Your files leave your device only as the encrypted transfer you choose to send.

New in version 3.0.1
Send files to your paired devices over the internet, not just on the same network.
• Send over the internet: RelayPony connects the two devices directly when it can, and falls back to passing the encrypted transfer through the relay when a direct link can't be made (common on mobile data)
• Relay server setting: use the default relay or point RelayPony at one you run yourself
• Identity backup and address book export, protected by a passphrase
• New help, licenses and about sections in Settings
