Fliporium

Friends, files, and side-by-side things,
over a private little tailnet of your own.

Windows 10 / 11 · no install, no account, no signup

What it is

Fliporium is a small desktop hangout for you and the handful of people you actually care about. It runs as one portable .exe on Windows — drop it on a USB stick if you want; identity and chat history travel with the file.

There's no signup. No account. No central server reading your messages. Fliporium peers find each other over a private tailnet and talk directly, encrypted end-to-end by WireGuard. The only public infrastructure is the control plane that introduces peers to each other — and it never sees a single message.

Six little things you can do here

The Floor

Open the app and see who's around. A short list of people, lit up in green if they're online right now.

Booths

Pull a few people into a private corner for a group chat. Each booth has its own little shared notepad.

Flip a file

Drag a photo, a PDF, a song — anything — onto a friend's name. It zips over the wire and lands on their disk.

Showtime

Start a video inside a booth and everyone watches together, in sync. Pause for snacks, resume on the same frame.

Invite a friend

Backstage → Invite. Send a QR code, a link, or a copy-pasteable message — whichever fits. They follow it once, and they're on your Floor.

Yours, end to end

Chats, files, video — all directly between devices. We can't read them. We can't even see they happened.

Privacy isn't a feature

Most chat apps are a way for a company to sit between you and your friends. Fliporium isn't a company. It's just an app.

The server we run does one job: introduce two peers so they can find each other. After that, your devices speak directly. The server never sees the connection. We don't keep logs of who you talk to, we don't scan files, we don't have an “ML team”, and we don't have ads to sell.

We do count how many times the .exe has been downloaded, and how many people are currently signed into the tailnet, so we can tell whether anyone is finding this useful. Those numbers are public.

Get started in 90 seconds

  1. Download. One file: fliporium.exe. Save it anywhere — desktop, a USB stick, whatever.
  2. Run it. Double-click. On the very first launch, a small Welcome window asks for an invite key. (If you set up the tailnet yourself, you've got one. Otherwise, ask whoever invited you — they generate it from Backstage → Invite a friend.)
  3. Invite the next person. Open Backstage → Invite a friend. You get three equivalent ways to send the invite: a QR code (in person), a clickable link (chat/email), or a whole copy-pasteable message. More in the docs.
