What is Rapidly?

Rapidly is a secure file-sharing platform with built-in payment gating. Share files peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption (AES-256-GCM over WebRTC), monetize your shares via Stripe Connect, and manage everything from a workspace dashboard.

End-to-End Encrypted Sharing

Files transfer directly between peers via WebRTC. AES-256-GCM encryption ensures only the intended recipient can access your content.

Payment-Gated Channels

Attach prices to file shares and get paid via Stripe Connect. Fixed pricing, pay-what-you-want, or free — your choice.

​
Problems We Solve

The Problem: Sharing files securely — especially large or sensitive ones — requires complex infrastructure: S3 buckets, signed URLs, access control, and encryption.Rapidly’s Solution: P2P encrypted file transfers via WebRTC with download quotas and ClamAV malware scanning. No third-party cloud storage needed — files go directly from sender to receiver.
The Problem: Selling access to files means stitching together a payment processor, access control layer, delivery mechanism, and customer management system.Rapidly’s Solution: Create a share, set a price, and distribute the link. Rapidly handles payment collection, access gating, and customer tracking in one platform.
The Problem: Sharing passwords, API keys, or sensitive documents via email or chat leaves data exposed in message histories and server logs.Rapidly’s Solution: One-time encrypted secrets with automatic expiration. Once viewed, the secret is destroyed. No trace left behind.
