Nearby & ready
How does tap-to-connect work?
- Open this page on both devices (same Wi-Fi works best).
- Each device shows up in the other's Nearby & ready list — tap one to call it.
- Accept on the other device. Done — send anything.
A free matchmaker server just introduces your devices — your photos and files then fly directly between them (WebRTC), never through the server. Devices on your network are marked nearby. Want to stay invisible? Turn on 🙈 Private mode above — you can still call out. First visit of the day can take ~30–60s: the free server sleeps when idle. No devices showing? You can always pair with a Share / Receive code instead.

Blank = use the built-in free server. Want your own instead? Deploy a free one on Render (takes ~2 minutes), then paste its wss:// URL above — or clear the field to turn tap-to-connect off. Without a server you can still use Share / Receive codes below.
