swx.sh lets anyone share a file or some text as a short link that expires, and chat privately end to end. There are no accounts. This page covers the rules and how to report abuse.
What is and is not allowed
Use swx.sh for lawful, consensual sharing and conversation. You may not use it to store, send, or link to:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexualizes minors. This is reported to authorities.
- Malware, phishing kits, or anything meant to compromise other people.
- Content that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights.
- Threats, harassment, doxxing, or incitement of violence.
- Spam, scams, or bulk unsolicited distribution.
- Anything illegal where you or your recipient are.
Accounts do not exist, so enforcement is per share and per connection: reported content is removed, its fingerprint can be blocked from re-upload, and abusive networks can be rate-limited or cut off.
Reporting abuse or a copyright issue
Every share page has a report link at the bottom that flags it for review. For copyright (DMCA) notices, illegal content, or anything urgent, email abuse@swx.sh with the link and a short description. Confirmed abuse is removed and, where required, reported to the relevant authorities.
How your data is handled
- Files and text are single-view: the bytes are deleted the moment the link is opened, and any unopened share is deleted when it expires.
- Vault shares are encrypted in your browser; the server only ever holds noise it cannot read.
- Chat is end to end encrypted and stored nowhere. The server only relays ciphertext between two browsers and keeps nothing.
- Logs record only what is needed to run the service and stop abuse, such as salted (non-reversible) IP hashes for rate limiting. Content is never logged.
No warranty
swx.sh is provided as is, with no guarantee of availability or delivery. Because everything is short-lived by design, do not rely on it for anything you cannot afford to lose. You are responsible for what you share and for having the right to share it.
