Nothing to create, nothing to delete
Signup walls exist so a service can attach your transfers to an identity — an email, a plan, a profile. Pairchute has none of that. There’s no account to create before you send and no account left behind after. The only thing stored on your device is a keypair the browser generates for the encrypted handshake, and it never leaves your machine.
That means there’s also nothing to delete, no data-export request to file, and no profile to be breached.
How you send without an account
One computer clicks Create invite and gets a link. Send that link over any private channel you already trust — a chat app, in person. The other side clicks it and sends one reply back, and the direct pipe opens. The invite carries the connection keys, so treat it like a password; it also expires after an hour and never contains your file.
Free, and free of strings
A static page with no servers costs almost nothing to run, so Pairchute is free with no catch — no account tier, no "upgrade for larger files", no ads harvesting your usage. Size is bounded by your disk, not your plan. If it saves you time, there’s a Bitcoin tip jar in the corner; that’s the entire business model.
There is also no password to forget and no verification email that never arrives. The closest thing to an identity here is the invite link itself, and it evaporates after one hour, leaving nothing to reset or recover.
Send a file now
Scroll up and hit Create invite — you get a link to send the other person. They click it, send one reply back, and the direct encrypted pipe opens. Nothing is uploaded; nothing is stored.
