Local-first device handoff
Ephemeral local handoff, at
LAN speed.
Move text, images, and any file between your nearby devices — no account, no cloud relay, no storage buildup.

Handoff, not storage
Pastey is built for passing things across devices, not collecting them forever. Encrypted room payloads stay local, and burning the room clears its managed transfer state.
Uploads, relays, and caches accumulate.

03
Nearby devices, zero ceremony
Open Pastey on two devices under the same local network. They discover each other automatically, so sending feels closer to dropping something across the desk than uploading it somewhere.
04
Any file is just bytes.
Different file formats enter the same encrypted transfer path. Pastey does not need per-format adapters: payload chunks flow to the receiver while acknowledgements return to the sender.
One binary path. No per-format adapters.
05
LAN-native speed
Pastey avoids the upload-relay-download loop. Built to use most of your LAN. Observed at roughly 75–80% of practical LAN ceiling in current validation.
Actual throughput depends on Wi-Fi/Ethernet quality, device I/O, CPU, system load, and runtime conditions.06
Transfer lifecycles that end
Payloads are temporary by design, so transfers do not become another storage pile. Room owners decide when the managed lifecycle ends.

Built to be inspected
Pastey documents how transfers work, what is validated, and what is still experimental.
Local. Direct. Deliberate.
Move it locally. Clear it cleanly.
