- Built in C++
- The entire app is native C++. That choice gives full control over memory lifecycle and data flow. There's no interpreter or heavyweight framework between your file and the wire.
- In-Memory Transfers
- Transfers move through memory only. Files aren't written to disk, indexed, or queued for later. When a transfer completes, the data is gone.
- No Storage Layer
- PhotonFile doesn't depend on object storage or background replication. Each relay runs with zero-retention by design, so there are no silent backups or stray copies to clean up later.
- Performance as Privacy
- Less time in transit means less exposure. The relay I/O is tuned for high throughput without caching or job queues. Speed isn't just convenience here, it reduces the window of risk.
- Engineered to Forget
-
Built to forget, not to remember.
Every decision, from connection handling to how TLS is layered serves that principle. Minimize surface area. Minimize lifetime.
- What We Don't Share
- For security and competitive reasons, we don't publish internal network layout, server images, or key handling details. The important part for you: the system is designed so we don't retain your data.
