+.SH NAME
+onionshare \- a tool for anonymously sharing files over a temporarily set up Tor Hidden service.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B onionshare-gui
+.br
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBOnionShare\fP lets you anonymously share files. You host the file on your own computer and use a Tor hidden service to make it temporarily accessible over the Internet. Onionshare sets up this hidden service up for you. It then generates an unguessable URL to access and download the file.
+.br
+Before you can share a file, you need to open Tor Browser in the background. This will provide the Tor service that OnionShare uses to start the hidden service.
+.br
+When you open OnionShare you will be prompted to select a file to share. The unguessable URL is then generated and automatically copied to the clipboard.
+.br
+The person you want to share the file with just needs to use the Tor Browser to download the file from you, using the URL you sent to them over another, possibly encrypted, channel like encrypted e-mail or chat.
+.br
+It takes around 30 seconds until the hidden service is available over the Tor network.
+.br
+OnionShare's default behaviour is to shut down the hidden service and to close the GUI once the file has been downloaded. You can prevent this behaviour by deselecting the "Close automatically" option. This can be useful if you want multiple people to access the same file.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B
+.IP -h
+display a short help message and exit
+.B
+.IP --local-only
+don't run a public hidden service, just run on localhost
+.IP --stay-open
+don't exit after file has been successfully downloaded
+.IP --debug
+enable more verbose output
