How Nudge Works
From opening the app to streaming your first file — the entire process takes under 10 seconds and involves no accounts, no cloud, no install.
1. Open Nudge
Navigate to the Nudge URL on any device with a modern browser. No download or install required.
2. Create a Room
Click 'Create Room' to generate a unique room code instantly. No server round-trip, no waiting.
3. Share the Code
Send the room code or scan the QR code on your second device. It joins the same session immediately.
4. Transfer!
Drop files, paste text, share links. Everything moves directly between browsers at full WiFi speed.
What Happens Under the Hood
Instant Pairing
When you open the room page, your devices pair securely over your local network. No file data ever leaves your WiFi network or gets stored anywhere.
Local Device Discovery
Both browsers find each other directly on your local WiFi network. This allows your devices to talk straight to each other without middleman servers.
Direct Device-to-Device Stream
A direct connection streams files straight from device to device. Transfer speeds are limited only by your local WiFi network speed.
End-to-End Encryption
All transferred files, text snippets, and links are encrypted directly between devices. Even on shared WiFi networks, no one else can view your transfers.
