Chrome extension

Send this page to your phone

One click sends the page you are on to your phone. It goes straight from your browser, end-to-end encrypted, with nothing uploaded.

The listing is in review at the Chrome Web Store.

What it does

• Send this page. Click the Ferry icon. Scan the QR code with your phone, or type the 6-digit code at ferry.sholajegede.com.
• Right-click to send. Right-click a link, an image or selected text and choose “Send with Ferry”.
• Remember your phone. Pair once. After that, “Send to your phone” needs no code. Your phone gets a prompt when Ferry is open on it.
• Get files back. Photos and files from your phone go to your Downloads folder. Text shows in the popup, ready to copy.

Private by design

• The extension reads a tab’s address and title only when you click its icon or its menu item.
• It asks for permission to read images from a site the first time you send an image from that site.
• Everything goes straight to your other device, encrypted. Ferry stores nothing on a server.
• It keeps no history and has no analytics.

Install it before the listing is live

1. Download the source from GitHub, then run npm install and npm run build in the extension folder.
2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
3. Click “Load unpacked” and choose extension/dist.

Limits

• Your phone must have Ferry open while the transfer runs. Ferry keeps no file for later.
• A file from your phone can be up to 2 GB. For larger files, use the Ferry site on both devices.
• Chrome’s own pages, such as the new tab page and settings, cannot be sent.
