Handover moves one secret from one browser to another without a server ever
holding it. You arm a room, send a link, and the two browsers talk to each
other. When it is done there is nothing to delete, because nothing was written
down.
Nothing is stored on our servers. The whole service is hosted on Cloudflare,
with no database, no file storage and no logging switched on. Ever.
If you are receiving
- Say who you are, what it is about, and what you are expecting. All three
are shown to the sender so they can see the request is genuine.
- Click Open in my mail client. The invitation is written for you.
Add their address and send it from your own mailbox, so it arrives looking
like you rather than like a phishing attempt.
- Leave the tab open and go and do something else. The
transfer completes on its own whenever they connect.
- Come back later, copy the secret into your password manager, close the
tab.
If you are sending
- Open the link you were sent. No account, no sign-up, nothing to install.
- Check the panel showing who is asking, what it relates to, and that the
link was prepared for you.
- Paste the secret and click Connect and send. If they are offline
your tab waits until they are back.
- Close the tab. Your copy is cleared the moment it is away.
What we can and cannot see

that a room existedyes, plus both IPs and timing
When the two browsers cannot reach each other directly, the encrypted packets are
relayed through Cloudflare. They still cannot be read, and each transfer tells you
which route it took. We keep no logs: request logging is switched off and there is
no database or file storage in the service to write to. Cloudflare still counts
traffic at the platform level, as any host does, but that is volume and not content.
What you need
- A desktop or laptop for the receiving side. Phones suspend background tabs and
will drop the room. Phones are fine for sending.
- The tab left open. A locked screen is fine. Sleeping the machine is not.
If it does not work
Sleep, a closed tab or a reboot ends the room, and a link only ever works once. In
every case nothing is disclosed and nothing is left behind: arm a new room and send
a new link. A missed handover is a missed phone call, and there is deliberately no
voicemail.
