Description by Paweł Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Features:
• No WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, USB cable or internet connection required for transfer
• Wireless and offline at the same time
• Minimal setup: in download mode, just point the camera at the QR stream and wait
• Can send files shared from other apps, such as file managers
• Can broadcast a file full-screen in a loop, for example from a TV or monitor
Notes:
• To receive a file from a desktop PC, use the web uploader:
https://wrobel1989.bitbucket.io/
It runs fully in the browser and is compatible with this app.
• Larger files can take a long time to transfer. This app is not intended to replace USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC or other standard transfer methods.
• Transfer reliability depends on camera quality, phone performance, screen brightness, focus and selected transfer settings.
• If transfer is unreliable on default settings, try lowering FPS or allowing more errors.
• Transfer settings affect only the QR stream producer in upload mode. Download mode adapts to the stream it sees.
• Free version supports files up to 25 MB in size.
Recent changes:
• Faster and more reliable webcam QR decoding.
• Fixed Android Gallery sharing, including Samsung devices.
• Unified upload screen layout.
• Added localized high-speed transfer tips.
