Evaluation Scores

Encryption Architecture7

Files are served over Tor onion services with end-to-end encryption; no data touches any third-party server.

Anonymous Usage8

Both sender and receiver are anonymous behind Tor; the onion address is the only identifier and is temporary.

Open Source & Auditability9

Fully open source under GPLv3; maintained by Micah Lee with Tor Project support and public code review.

Jurisdiction & Legal Protection7

Open source project with no corporate entity; relies on the Tor network which spans all jurisdictions.

Track Record & Trust5

Maintained since 2014 but with a small user base; reliable for its specific use case but not widely stress-tested.

Usability & Accessibility3

Requires both parties to use Tor Browser; sharing is ephemeral and connection-dependent, not suitable for persistent storage.

Cross-Platform Support4

Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop application; no mobile version, limiting use in phone-first scenarios.

Anonymous Payment9

Completely free and open source; no account, payment, or identity needed — just install and share.
