Privatta
Send sensitive files without routing them through someone else's cloud.
Direct machine-to-machine encrypted file transfer over libp2p and the Noise Protocol. No third-party relay, no cloud storage, no account required. Per-file access control, hardware-bound machine identity, and a tamper-evident audit trail — works on LAN, internet, or fully air-gapped.

What it does.
Files take exactly one network hop — sender to recipient.
libp2p establishes a direct encrypted connection between machines over LAN or internet. No relay server, no cloud storage, no third party in the data path. If both endpoints can route to each other, the transfer happens directly. The business outcome: your sensitive files don't accumulate in a vendor's S3 bucket waiting to be breached.
- Encrypted transport via the Noise Protocol Framework
- Works over LAN, internet, or both
- Direct connection — no relay, no cache, no fallback
- Transfer speed limited only by the slowest endpoint
- Circuit Relay v2 + autoNAT handle double-NAT and CGNAT
Every machine has a hardware-bound Ed25519 Peer ID.
Machine identities are issued cryptographically and bound to hardware fingerprints (SHA256 of hostname + platform + CPU model + RAM). Connections only complete after three-factor verification: username, password, and a valid Peer ID. Leaked credentials from one machine cannot be used to connect from another — a substantial uplift over password-only systems.
- Ed25519 public-key identity per machine
- Three-factor authentication: user + password + Peer ID
- Hardware fingerprint bound to license
- Forward-secrecy via per-session ephemeral X25519 keys
- Identities can be revoked centrally; trusted-peer whitelist
Authorize files individually. Audit every transfer.
Each file transfer can carry its own access policy: who can receive it, who can forward it, who can re-share. A tamper-evident audit log records every successful transfer, every denied attempt, and every policy violation across the fleet. Useful when audit-readiness isn't a nice-to-have — it's a tender requirement.
- Per-file recipient and forwarding policies
- Tamper-evident audit log (Merkle-chain backed)
- Real-time policy violation alerts
- Exportable compliance reports (CSV / PDF / JSON)
- Automatic peer banning on repeated failed auth
Native LAN-only mode for restricted networks.
Native local peer discovery establishes direct machine links without any internet connection or external infrastructure. Required for classified workstreams, regulated environments, and any network where outbound DNS resolution isn't allowed. Trusted-network CIDR support means you can pre-authorise Tailscale, Hamachi or custom VPN ranges.
- Local peer discovery without DNS or rendezvous
- Works on fully air-gapped LANs
- No outbound network calls of any kind
- Trusted CIDR ranges for Tailscale / Hamachi / custom VPNs
- Used by government, defense, critical infrastructure
Everything else it does.
No account required
There is no Royal Softworks account, no sign-up flow, no central registry. Your license activates the machine and authentication is local to your fleet.
Streaming transfers
Files are streamed in chunks; you can pause and resume, and large transfers don't require staging space on either end.
Live transfer monitor
Watch active transfers in real time: progress, throughput, encryption status, route — surfaced cleanly in the desktop UI.
Forward-secrecy by default
Each session uses a fresh ephemeral key. Past transfers remain confidential even if a long-term key is later compromised.
Policy templates
Common policies (internal-only, contractor-shareable, board-only) are templated and reusable. Easy for admins, predictable for users.
Cross-platform sync handoff
Start a transfer from desktop, finish on mobile. Five OS support means files can move across any device your team actually uses.
Starting at $178 per seat.
- Per-seat licensing, machine-bound
- Volume discounts above 25 seats
- Air-gapped activation for restricted networks
- Win / Mac / Linux / Android included
