    Everything you need to manage clouds in one place.

    From unified file browsing to shareable links with access controls, Whimsy gives you the tools to stop juggling cloud consoles.

    Key functions and capabilities

    UNIFIED SEARCH

    One search box across every connected cloud. Find files by name, content, or metadata — without remembering which provider you uploaded them to.

    SCHEDULED DELIVERY

    Turn any search into a job. New matches land in your inbox, on Telegram, at a webhook, or via the API. Automate what used to be manual checking.

    SHARED SPACES

    Group files by project or topic and invite family or teammates. Roles are explicit — owner, editor, viewer — with no more ad-hoc link forwarding.

    CROSS-CLOUD TRANSFERS

    Move or copy files between providers directly. No download-and-re-upload round-trips through your laptop.

    BRING YOUR OWN OBJECT STORAGE

    Point Whimsy at your own S3, R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or self-hosted MinIO as optional backing storage. You pay the provider directly; we add the workspace.

    REST API + WEBHOOKS

    Everything you can do in the UI is available via HTTP. Build search jobs, automate transfers, or wire Whimsy into your own pipeline.

    PORTABLE SHARE LINKS

    One link format for every cloud. Expiry, password protection, view caps, and access logs — managed from one place.

    The sequence

    Three steps.
    Zero downtime.

    Setup is purely metabolic — just sign in and go. The heavy lifting happens in the background while you stay focused on your actual work.

    1. 01

      Connect your clouds

      Sign in to each provider with OAuth. We ask for the smallest scope that lets us list and operate on your files. Every connection is revocable from your dashboard or the provider's security page.

    2. 02

      Let it index

      Whimsy reads filenames, folders, and metadata, and builds a small searchable index. That's the default — your document contents stay with your providers. To also search inside documents, you can opt in to server-side content indexing, which briefly fetches a file, extracts its text, then discards it — the raw file is never stored. You choose your indexing mode in Settings.

    3. 03

      Search · move · share

      Find anything with one query. Move files between providers without downloading them. Share read-only links with an expiry. Every action is recorded in your audit log.

    Security protocol

    The questions you
    should be asking.

    You're handing over cloud credentials and file access. Here's exactly how Whimsy handles it.

    • Does Whimsy store my files?

      We don't store your files. Transfers stream directly between your buckets. By default Whimsy indexes only metadata — filenames, paths, sizes, timestamps. To search inside documents you can opt in to server-side content indexing (a file is briefly fetched, its text extracted, then discarded — never the raw file), or use connector-local indexing for private libraries. You choose your indexing mode in Settings.

    • What credentials does Whimsy need?

      Read-write API keys per bucket — same as any S3-compatible tool. AES-256 encrypted at rest, never logged, never returned in API responses.

    • How are share links controlled?

      Every link has configurable expiry, optional password, and view or download caps. Revoke instantly — without touching your cloud account.

    • Is this ready for production?

      Private beta. Core file ops and sharing are stable. We're hardening permissions and expanding provider support before public launch.
