Pigeon

Development

Minimalist ephemeral file-sharing application for trusted networks with automatic file cleanup and large file support

Overview

Sometimes you need to share files quickly within a trusted network without the overhead of accounts, permissions, or permanent storage. Pigeon solves this with a dead-simple file sharing service that automatically cleans up after itself, making it perfect for temporary collaboration and quick transfers.

Built with Node.js and Express, Pigeon focuses on simplicity and reliability. Files are automatically deleted after configurable time periods, large files are handled through efficient streaming, and the entire system can be deployed anywhere with Docker. No databases, no user management - just fast, ephemeral file sharing.
