Two apps. One idea.

Ferry started as one app for moving files. It is now two: the same idea applied to the other thing everyone does badly. Both are free, both run on your own machine, and neither one asks you to make an account.

Files

Ferry

Ferry your files anywhere.

FTP, FTPS, SFTP, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and any S3-compatible endpoint — all from one clean window. Drag files in to upload, drag them out to download.

  • Every protocol in one place, including S3-compatible storage
  • Drag and drop whole folders, structure preserved
  • FTPS on by default; saved passwords encrypted at rest
  • A `ferry` command Claude can drive without seeing a password

Email

Ferry Email

Every inbox. One calm window.

Microsoft 365, Gmail, iCloud, Fastmail and any IMAP or POP3 account, together. Signatures follow the account, ten calendars collapse into one, and no message is ever unreadable.

  • Signatures that cannot land on the wrong account
  • One calendar across every mailbox, colour-tagged
  • Sender colours corrected so nothing is unreadable
  • Per-account instructions Claude reads before it acts

True of both

  • Free, and not the kind with a catch. No account, no trial, no tier that unlocks the feature you needed. Both apps are free for everyone, forever.
  • Nothing passes through us. Files move between your machine and your servers; mail moves between your machine and your provider. There is no Ferry cloud in the middle, because there is no Ferry cloud.
  • Your secrets stay encrypted, on your computer. Passwords and tokens live in an AES-256-GCM config file you own and can move. Neither app has a screen that prints one back to you.
  • Built for Claude, safely. Each app ships a command-line tool and a Claude skill. Both work by connection or account name, so an assistant can do real work without ever handling a credential.

Questions

What is Ferry?

Two free desktop apps from Buzzerboy. Ferry moves files over FTP, FTPS, SFTP, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and any S3-compatible storage. Ferry Email is a mail client that handles all your accounts at once. They share a look and a philosophy, but they are separate downloads and neither needs the other.

Do I have to use both?

No. Install whichever is useful. They don’t talk to each other and neither one nags you about the other.

Are they really free?

Yes, both, for everyone. No account, no trial, no paid tier. There is nothing to upgrade to.

Do my files or emails go through your servers?

No. Ferry connects your computer directly to your servers and buckets; Ferry Email connects it directly to your mail provider. We run nothing in between and store nothing.

Which operating systems?

Both run on macOS 11 and later and on Windows 10 and 11, as small native apps. Ferry Email has installers for both today; Ferry’s Windows installer is being published shortly.

Can Claude use them?

Both ship a command-line tool and a Claude skill. Claude works by connection or account name while the credentials stay encrypted in the app, so it can move files and triage mail without ever handling a password.

Download — both free

No account, no trial, no strings. Take one or take both.
