KIplatz on a Windows PC and the KIplatz app on your phone. It costs nothing, with no ads and no cloud subscription.

Do I need a cloud for this?

No. Your files stay on your PC at home. Only the file you fetch travels to you, encrypted, and our server only passes it on.

Only a device you connected on your PC yourself may search, and every question carries a seal that only your PC checks. System folders, hidden files and password vaults never appear in the list, and on your PC you see who fetched what and when. More on safety

What if my PC at home is off?

Then it cannot search, and the app tells you right away. As soon as it runs again, it works again.

How large may a file be, and what is searched?

Up to 60 MB per file. The search looks at name, folder and date, not inside the files.

Access your PC files from your phone, from anywhere

The invoice, the application or the photo is on your PC at home, and you are out. With KIplatz you simply ask for it on your phone, and your PC at home finds the file and sends it to you. We call it “Ask your home”.

A young man stands on a train and looks at his phone

“Where is my file?” Just ask

In your own words

You write something like “Where is my application?”, you do not need the file name. Your PC looks in your usual folders, OneDrive included.

2 taps and it is with you

You tick what you need and tap “Aufs Handy holen” (get it to my phone). Then you save the file or send it on.

You decide where it searches

Only you switch on “In meinen Dateien suchen” (search my files). The question never goes to the internet and never to another member's PC.

Several PCs, one question

A PC at home and one at the office? Connect each once, then ask one of them or all at once.

Your own cloud, just without a cloud.

Everything stays on your PC. A file only travels when you fetch it, encrypted, through our server in Vienna. It cannot read the file and deletes it after pickup, after 24 hours at the latest.
