Why we built it
For a decade we've paid monthly fees to keep our own files on someone else's computer, and traded privacy for the convenience. Meanwhile the drives in our own desks and homes sit mostly idle, holding more than any cloud plan we'd want to pay for.
Enidor turns those drives into the cloud. Your devices are the servers; everything else is just an encrypted tunnel between them. A file on your desktop at home opens on your laptop across the world, a folder can be shared with a client for exactly as long as you choose, and none of it is copied to a data center along the way.
What we believe
- No cloud copy. Files move from one device to another, or they don't move. There's no server-side storage to breach, mine or subpoena.
- Access should be temporary. Every share has an end: an expiry you set, a room you close, or a revoke button that works mid-download.
- You should see what's happening. The Activity Monitor and audit log show every byte that enters or leaves your machine, and who it was for.
- Nothing to configure. No port forwarding, no public IP, no storage tiers to choose between.
How it works
Each device you link to your Global Handle joins your private mesh after you confirm it with your authenticator app and Ecosystem PIN. When two devices — or you and someone you're sharing with — need to talk, they dial out to each other and connect directly, punching through home routers the way video calls do. Every connection is encrypted end to end.
Enidor's servers only make introductions. A directory says which computer is hosting a share, and a relay carries the short handshake that sets up the direct connection. When a network blocks direct connections, the relay can carry the traffic too, still encrypted, so it can't read what passes through.
The same protocol runs in the browser. Someone without the app can open a share link and download straight from the sender's computer over WebRTC — no account, no install, and no upload anywhere in between.
Where it stands
Enidor is in early access. The mesh, peer tunnels, Guest Rooms and the streaming engine work today on macOS and Windows; Linux, Android and iOS are planned. We ship often, and the app updates itself in the background. Every build is published on GitHub Releases.
Enidor is free to use.
