Why Lowkey?

No Central Authority

Files live on the network, not on corporate servers. No single point of failure or control. True decentralization.

No Accounts Required

Start sharing immediately. No email, no registration, no identity required. Download and go.

No Tracking

Zero analytics. Zero telemetry. Zero data collection. Your activity is yours alone.

Privacy Options

Choose your anonymity level: direct connections for speed, relay routing for privacy, or Tor for maximum anonymity.
