Send files phone to phone, encrypted end to end. No account, no cloud, no ads.

Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.

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. relaypony.app

    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 (UDP hole punch via PonyDirect). When a direct link can't be made, which is common on mobile data, it passes the encrypted transfer through the relay instead. The relay only ever sees ciphertext. - **Relay server setting.** Use the default relay or point RelayPony at one you run yourself ([RelayPony-Relay](https://github.com/norsehorse-dev/RelayPony-Relay), Apache-2.0). - **Identity backup and address book export**, protected by a passphrase. - **New help, licenses and about sections** in Settings. - **New languages:** Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese. ### Fixed in 3.0.1

    The 3.0 tag pinned the PonyDirect-Kotlin submodule to a commit from before the stream transport landed, so a clean recursive clone (including F-Droid's build) failed to compile. 3.0.1 pins the submodule to the library commit 3.0 was actually built against. No app code changed.

    WAN transfer over the internet (direct hole punch with encrypted relay fallback), settings consistency polish, and full localization in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Hindi, and Portuguese (BR).
  • Aug 12, 2026 2.1
    RelayPony 2.1 Google TV support, broadcast peer discovery, and Direct Share, merged from two lines of work into one build. Google TV Installable on Android TV / Google TV, with a leanback launcher entry and D-pad navigation throughout. Opens on the Receive tab, sized for the big screen: the pairing QR fits a landscape two-pane layout instead of a portrait scroll. Camera and document-picker features are detected and hidden when absent, so a TV never shows a "pick files" button that goes nowhere. Devices with no Wi-Fi Direct stack (some TVs, some emulators) no longer crash on startup. Peer discovery
    More…
    A UDP broadcast beacon finds peers where mDNS can't: a phone's own hotspot, or a guest network that filters multicast. Hotspot detection: starting a hotspot and Wi-Fi Direct discovery at the same time now reports a clear reason instead of a bare "framework busy" error. Send by address: when discovery still can't cross the network, type in a paired device's address and port directly. Pairing and sharing Direct Share: paired devices show up as one-tap share targets from any app's share sheet. Identity backup: export your device identity and paired devices to a passphrase-protected file, and import it on another device. SAS verification: pairing now shows a six-digit code on both devices for a mutual check, alongside QR scanning. Fixes The inbox Open button now works for images and video with a missing or generic mime type, using a chooser instead of a silent failed launch. Wi-Fi Direct discovery failures report a specific reason: Wi-Fi off, a hotspot conflict, or the underlying framework error.
