Tim Visée

Tim Visée is an independent Dutch software engineer whose open-source portfolio revolves around privacy-centric, command-line driven tools that bridge the gap between developer convenience and end-user security. His best-known utility, ffsend, resurrects the spirit of Mozilla’s discontinued Firefox Send service by giving Windows, macOS and Linux users a lightweight, scriptable client for password-protected, end-to-end-encrypted file transfers. Typical use cases include CI pipelines that need to ship build artifacts to remote testers, sysadmins who want to share log bundles without exposing them to public cloud storage, and privacy-minded individuals exchanging large media folders over intermittent connections. Beyond simple upload/download, the codebase supports expiry times, download limits, one-time links, and built-in integrity checks, all accessible through sub-commands that fit naturally into PowerShell or bash workflows. While ffsend is presently the sole package maintained under the timvisee.com banner, its architecture of small, composable binaries hints at a publisher philosophy focused on minimal, trustworthy utilities rather than sprawling suites. Tim Visée’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest upstream release and allowing batch installation alongside other applications.
