Encrypted file transfer, phone to phone. Offline, no account, no cloud.
About this app
Send files from one phone to another, directly. RelayPony is a private, encrypted file transfer app that moves your photos, videos, documents, and any files device to device, with no servers, no account, and no cloud in between.
Most file sharing apps upload your files to someone else's servers or bury you in ads. RelayPony does neither. Your files go straight to the person you're sending to, over your local Wi-Fi or a direct Wi-Fi Direct link, encrypted the entire way. Nothing is stored online, because there is no online.
HOW IT WORKS The person receiving opens RelayPony and shows a QR code. You scan it once, pick your files, and send. The pairing is remembered, so the next transfer to that device is a single tap.
WHY RELAYPONY * Private by design. Files are end-to-end encrypted with the age encryption standard, so only the recipient can open them. * No servers, no account, no cloud. Nothing to sign up for, nothing uploaded, nothing tracked. * Works without internet. Share over local Wi-Fi, or use Wi-Fi Direct when there's no shared network at all. Built for travel, weak signal, and saving mobile data. * Send to several devices at once. Pair multiple phones and send to all of them together. * Reliable transfers. If a connection drops, RelayPony reconnects and keeps going, with real progress the whole way. * No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. * Open source. The code is public, so anyone can verify exactly what the app does.
A FASTER WAY TO SHARE FILES No waiting on uploads and downloads. No sign-in. No watching your files pass through a stranger's cloud. Just pick a file and send it to the phone next to you.
SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE RelayPony is available in English, Hindi, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, and Portuguese.
PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY The camera is used only to scan the pairing QR code, on your device. Nearby-device and Wi-Fi access are used only to find and connect to the phone you're sending to. Your files never leave your device except as the encrypted transfer you choose to send.
Send files the private way. No cloud, no account, no catch.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.relaypony.android is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
No earlier build is on record for RelayPony, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of RelayPony, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Previous Versions
No earlier build is on record — this is the first release we have listed.
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
