OrbitXfer

Move big files without putting them in somebody else's storage.

OrbitXfer sends files and folders from one computer to another. Choose what you want to send, share a simple code or transfer ticket, and the other person can receive it with OrbitXfer.

Your files are not parked in an intermediary cloud drive before delivery.

Verified as they arrive

BLAKE3 integrity checking catches damaged or incomplete data.

Built to recover

Interrupted transfers can resume instead of starting over from zero.

How it works

Send it in three steps.

OrbitXfer tries to establish a direct peer-to-peer path. When networks or firewalls get in the way, an encrypted Iroh relay can help the two computers connect without becoming a storage destination for your files.

Choose

Pick a file or folder

Select the material you want to send. OrbitXfer prepares it and keeps the original data intact.

Share

Send the connection details

Give the recipient a simple four-word code or a complete transfer ticket.

Receive

Save it locally

The recipient chooses a destination. OrbitXfer transfers, verifies, and can resume if interrupted.
