✨ Why Spext?

⚡ Instant Code Sharing

Select any code inside Visual Studio, right-click and choose Share with Spext.

Spext preserves your code formatting and language information, then generates a share that can be opened instantly on another device.

💻 Built for Visual Studio 2022

Spext integrates directly into your development workflow with:

  • Editor context menu commands
  • Solution Explorer integration
  • A dedicated Spext Tool Window
  • Quick share actions
  • Recent share access

📄 Share Files Instantly

Right-click a file in Solution Explorer and share it without leaving Visual Studio.

Spext supports both text and binary files.

📚 Multi-File Sharing

Select multiple files in Solution Explorer and send them together as one Spext transfer.

Perfect for sharing related source files, configuration examples or small code samples.

📁 Folder Sharing

Share folders recursively while automatically excluding unnecessary development artifacts such as:

bin · obj · .vs · .git · node_modules · dist · build

🧩 Project Sharing

Share project source files directly from Solution Explorer while filtering generated files and protecting common sensitive files.

🔢 Human-Friendly 4-Digit Codes

Every successful share receives a server-generated 4-digit code.

Instead of sending a long URL, simply tell the recipient:

Open Spext and enter the code.

▦ QR Code Sharing

Every successful share also includes a QR code.

Scan it with another device to open the share quickly without manually typing a link.

QR codes are generated locally by the extension without third-party QR services.

🔐 Privacy & Security

Spext is designed around explicit, user-controlled sharing.

  • No API key required for normal anonymous sharing
  • No account required for basic sharing
  • Production communication uses HTTPS
  • Files are shared only after an explicit user action
  • QR codes are generated locally
  • Shared source-code contents are not written to extension diagnostic logs
  • Common secret files are automatically excluded from folder/project sharing

Protected examples include:

.env · .env.* · secrets.json · *.pfx · *.p12 · *.pem · *.key · id_rsa · credentials*.json

Spext communicates with spext.fun to create and retrieve transfers.
