ASENDME
HOW IT WORKS
A little closer.
More you can do together.
ASENDME brings nearby sharing, temporary rooms, useful tools and games into your browser. Send a file, sketch an idea or take a quick play break. No account or app installation required.
Use a current browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Feature support varies by browser.
ONE PLACE, MANY POSSIBILITIES
Share something. Make something. Play something.
Files, photos & links
Send files or a text/link card to a discovered device. Send several files separately or as a ZIP made on your device. Broadcast offers still need each recipient's approval.
Temporary Rooms
Bring up to 16 devices together with a code, link or QR. No GPS needed. Rooms help people discover one another; they are not group chat or automatic file delivery.
Conversations & ideas
Invite someone to live nearby chat, shared notes or a whiteboard. Voice notes let you record a short clip, preview it, then offer it as an audio file. Screen sharing is view-only and needs a direct connection.
Everyday browser Tools
Convert, format, generate and inspect data. Search by task, save favourites and revisit recent tools. Open a personal Excalidraw canvas for diagrams and editable drawing snapshots.
Explore the toolsSolo, Co-op & Versus
Find a quick solo arcade game, solve a puzzle together or challenge a friend. Search the Arcade and filter by Solo, Co-op, Versus, Quick play or Strategy.
Find your next gameYour devices, connected
Pair with a one-time code or QR, then compare the PIN and emoji on both screens. Both devices can opt into remembering one another. Clipboard cards are explicit sends, not background clipboard sync.
FROM HELLO TO SENT
Get started in three steps
Open ASENDME on both devices
Choose a display name. Use optional location discovery, or continue without sharing location to join a Room or pair by code.
Find the right device
Create a Room and share its code or QR privately, open Pair a device, or find a visible nearby device. Check who you are connecting with.
Choose an activity
Select Send file, Send link or note, Games, Whiteboard or another activity. The other person chooses whether to accept the invitation or offer.
How your content travels
A server introduces the devices
ASENDME uses a signaling service for discovery, invitations and connection details. You choose who to connect with.
Direct P2P when possible
After acceptance, browsers try an encrypted direct connection for the content.
Encrypted relay if needed
Supported activities can use a bounded encrypted relay if the direct path fails. Direct only in Settings disables transfer relay fallback. Screen sharing is never relayed.
CHOOSE HOW TO CONNECT
Nearby, across the room, or by code
Nearby discovery
Orbit is the visual radar; Nearby is a grouped device list. Location discovery requires permission and a recent position. Map uses shared locations. Radar positions are approximate, not a compass.
Same network discovery is optional and groups visible, opted-in devices sharing a public IP. It needs internet; it is not a LAN scan or proof you know the person. VPNs and shared gateways can group strangers.
Rooms & pairing without GPS
Open Rooms, create one and choose Copy room code, a link or the QR. Room joined confirms membership; In room and the device count stay visible afterward. Rooms expire after 30 minutes and end on disconnect or reload; rejoin explicitly.
Pair a device shows your code and QR automatically. Codes are single-use and expire after 10 minutes. Compare the matching PIN and emoji through a trusted channel, then both confirm.
Send to everyone in Send file offers to all currently discovered recipients, not only your Room. Each recipient accepts separately. Room polls are opt-in, session-only questions and votes, not anonymous or verified one-person-one-vote.
USEFUL ON YOUR OWN, TOO
A toolbox, right in the browser
Open Tools from the main screen. Search by name, category or nickname such as b64, pwd or uuid. Star favourites, reopen recents and use a tool link to return to a specific utility.
- Text, data & development: format JSON, compare text, encode Base64, generate tokens or inspect hashes.
- Converters & media: work with units, dates, colours and supported images. Check a tool's requirements before using sensitive data; utilities with network functions still need a connection.
- Personal Excalidraw canvas: sketch with reusable ASENDME symbols. Share drawing creates an editable
.excalidrawsnapshot through the normal file-offer flow. It is separate from the live shared whiteboard, not live Excalidraw collaboration. Export work you want to keep across reloads.
More control over transfers
- Pending send queue
- Pause pending offers, move them up or down and choose 1–3 simultaneous outgoing sends. This does not pause active transfers. Reload loses queued files.
- Optional integrity checks
- Sender and recipient separately opt into SHA-256 comparison for eligible files up to 8 MiB. A match checks received bytes, not identity, a signature or proof of saving.
- Received-media previews
- After accepting a completed, supported file, choose Preview. Playback is not automatic. The session gallery supports selected saves and a locally built ZIP; it clears on reload.
- Transfer receipts & keep-awake
- Copy completion metadata, not proof of reading or saving. On supported browsers, opt into a screen wake lock during active visible transfers; your browser may refuse or release it.
TAKE A PLAY BREAK
An Arcade for one, or for two
Open Games to browse and search. Solo games do not need a partner; two-player invitations need the other person's acceptance. Rooms also offer game invitations and a scoreboard for the current page session.
Play on your own
Try Crystal Breaker, Nebula Pinball, Pulse Runner, Starfall Survivors, Comet Cascade, Planet Hopper, Reactor Defense, Prism Tunnel, Aurora Catch, Skyline Stack, Reactor Descent or Magnet Foundry. Pocket Bowling, Flick Football, Rooftop Racer, Fruit Merge, Hook and Swing, Parking Panic, Terraform Tiles, Pulsar Timing and Wormhole Routes remain available.
The new arcade games load when opened, with local scores, keyboard/touch controls and pause/restart. Planet accents follow your selected world; reduced motion and low-power mode reduce decorative effects. Pulse Runner has optional original procedural sound and supports visual play without audio.
Team up or face off
Cooperate in Moonbase Rescue, Cooperative Sudoku, Airlock Engineers or Deep Space Expedition. Play Chess, Backgammon, Dice Scorecard, Codebreaker, Memory Match, Hangman, Dominoes, 2048 Duel or Draw & Guess.
Rules and randomization run in the browsers. Local history and best scores depend on browser storage; these are friendly games, not a server-authoritative anti-cheat system.
UNDERSTAND YOUR CONTROLS
Your choices, with practical limits
Open the status pill for Privacy & settings. Choose Visible, optional ten-minute visibility or Ghost. Ghost stops discovery and new requests; already accepted files may finish, so cancel them in Transfers if needed.
- Consent matters. Activity invitations and file offers normally need acceptance. Check any auto-accept preferences you enable. A Room code is an invitation to discover devices, not identity verification; share it privately.
- Content and connection data are different. ASENDME does not provide server-side storage for shared files, chat, notes or drawings. Its service still handles connection and discovery data, including location when you opt into location discovery. This is not anonymity or a promise of zero server traffic.
- Some things stay in your browser. Preferences, alias, avatar, remembered devices and local game history can persist. Pending OS shares can remain in local storage until consumed, discarded or expired. Session-only activities have different lifetimes; export important work.
- Diagnostics are optional. Coarse transfer and solo arcade diagnostics are off by default. Turn them on in Privacy & settings to share allowlisted outcomes and approximate time/size buckets, without file names or contents, chat text, scores, exact locations or device identifiers. Turn them off to stop new reports. The service also keeps bounded operational counts and fixed error classes; these are not a record of your shared content.
- You control your device, not other people's copies. Forget this device clears ASENDME's local data and closes connections; it cannot erase recipients' copies or revoke the browser's location permission. Private browsing or clearing site data can remove saved identity.
- Encryption has limits. It does not make a malicious file or link safe, protect a compromised browser or guarantee the identity behind a display name. Check recipients and destinations before sharing or opening content.
WHEN YOU NEED A HAND
Help & frequently asked questions
Is ASENDME free? Do I need an account or app?
ASENDME is free to use without an account or installation. Open it in a current browser. You can also install it as a progressive web app on supporting devices.
Can I use it between different operating systems?
Yes. Use current browsers across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS or ChromeOS. Both devices must keep the site open and connected for sharing. Screen capture, OS sharing, clipboard access and media support vary by platform.
Why can't I see anyone?
Check that both devices are online, Visible and have ASENDME open. Location discovery needs permission, a fresh accurate position and devices within range. Without GPS, try a Room or Pair a device. Same network only finds opted-in devices with the same public IP. Live nearby chat still requires fresh accurate GPS.
Does everything need approval?
File offers and activity invitations normally require acceptance. Settings can allow auto-accept for eligible incoming transfers, so review your preferences. Accepting a collaboration session allows its ongoing activity; it is not a new prompt for every chat message, stroke or game move.
Is there a file size limit? Can I resume?
Available browser memory, device resources and transport limits matter; there is no unlimited-size guarantee. Keep both tabs open. Eligible interrupted direct file transfers can resume while their session progress is retained; relay transfers and text cards cannot. Reload can lose progress.
ZIP creation is limited to 100 files, 128 MiB input and 160 MiB output, with lower limits when required by the relay quota.
Can I use Same network or flight mode without internet?
Same network is public-IP-based discovery through the online service, not offline LAN sharing. Low-power flight mode reduces decorative rendering; it is not airplane mode and does not disconnect sessions. Some installed-PWA share intake can work offline, but delivery and multiplayer connection setup need internet.
Can I send files from my phone's Share menu?
On supporting installed-PWA platforms, especially Android and ChromeOS, shared files, text and links enter a temporary on-device inbox. Install and open ASENDME online first, then choose the recipient before sending. Safari on iOS and Firefox do not support this share-target flow; use the normal file picker or paste a text card instead.
Can I share my screen from a phone?
Most mobile browsers cannot capture a screen, though they can view a supported screen share from a computer. Screen sharing is view-only, requires acceptance and a direct connection, and has no relay fallback.
Can I remember my own devices and send my clipboard?
Both devices can opt into Remember my device during pairing. Keep up to 8 for up to 30 days in local browser storage. Only use this with your own devices. Clipboard cards read after a click, let you preview, then require recipient acceptance and an explicit Copy. There is no background clipboard synchronization.
Manage saved devices in Pair. Forget an offline device on that device too; clearing one browser cannot remotely erase another browser's stored data.
How do I choose a planet theme?
Your first visit chooses a random world and remembers it in this browser; existing choices are not changed. Open Privacy & settings, then Display > Choose your world. Pick Earth, Mars, Europa, Nebula, Saturn, Titan, Neptune, Venus, Io or Kepler. Planet landscapes and matching accents apply in dark mode; light mode keeps its neutral palette. Your selection stays in this browser and carries across public pages and admin on the same origin, but not the separate Tools app. Low-power flight mode hides landscape and preview artwork without disconnecting sessions.
Will my name and avatar survive visiting About?
Yes, on the same origin after completed onboarding. This guide does not clear identity or preferences. Your saved light/dark theme and planet skin carry over, too. asendme.com and asendme.app have separate browser storage; private browsing, clearing site data or Forget this device can remove saved identity.
What if someone is bothering me?
Use the person's profile to block or report them. Switch to Ghost to stop new discovery and requests, and cancel any accepted transfers separately. Do not open unexpected files or links just because they arrived through ASENDME.
Ready when you are.
Open ASENDME on both devices and choose how to connect.
