Your files. Your server. One app. picaroa brings PicoShare natively to iPhone – upload a file, copy the link, done. Share files from your own server. No cloud required. picaroa is the native iOS client for PicoShare, the self-hosted file sharing service. Upload a file, pick an expiry date, and have the link in your clipboard in seconds – no cloud account, no subscription, no tracking. UPLOAD IN THREE STEPS Pick a file from your photo library or the Files app, set an expiry, tap upload. The share link lands in your clipboard automatically. YOUR FILES. YOUR SERVER. picaroa connects exclusively to your own PicoShare instance. No data is sent to third parties. Your shared secret is stored securely in the iOS Keychain – never in plain text. ALL YOUR FILES AT A GLANCE Every uploaded file in a clean list. Tap any entry to copy the link, open it in Safari, or delete the file. Swipe left to delete directly from the list. MULTIPLE SERVERS, MULTIPLE THEMES Manage several PicoShare instances in one app. Each server gets its own colour theme – Picaroa, Ocean, Slate, or Dusk. EXPIRY OPTIONS 1 day · 7 days · 30 days · 1 year · Never REQUIREMENTS A reachable PicoShare instance (home network, VPN, or public). PicoShare is free, open source, and runs with Docker in minutes. picaroa is free and contains no advertising.
