License: MPL-2.0 — Fork of the discontinued Mozilla Firefox Send; actively maintained by Tim Visée.

Good fit for Privacy-first sends where you want client-side encryption and predictable expiry semantics — the closest spiritual heir to Firefox Send.

Weak at No persistent accounts or per-recipient analytics — it's intentionally one-off and ephemeral.

Replaces these SaaS

  • WeTransfer · Large file transfer / one-off send

    Run `docker run -p 1443:1443 registry.gitlab.com/timvisee/send:latest`. Files are end-to-end encrypted in the browser before upload — the server never sees plaintext. Default expiry: configurable downloads (1-100) or time (5min-7d). The shareable URL embeds the decryption key in the URL fragment, so it never reaches your server logs.
