## What is QiGuang StarBox?

QiGuang is a library and a carry-along tool for NFC badges: read them into your phone, organize them, and load them onto StarBox, so you no longer need to carry a stack of cards.

Read and collect
Read a badge with one tap, or a whole stack in a single pass. Badges already in your library are reported as duplicates, new ones are called out. Each entry keeps its name, artwork, usage count and your own notes, and stays on this phone.

Carry and switch
Connect to StarBox, an NFC badge emulator, over Bluetooth and load the badges you use. Several can be loaded at once and arranged in your own order. With iOS Shortcuts you can switch directly in game: the menu lists candidates by account and category, and keeps the ones you switch most within easy reach. StarBox is an optional accessory.

Write to blank tags
Write a badge to a blank NFC tag you supply (NTAG215) and tap that instead. The tag holds a fixed copy, and its usage count stops at the moment you write it.

Badge index
All 113 badges, with the ones you have collected and the ones still missing.

Organize
Your own categories, account labels, favorites, search and filters. Categories stay on this phone.

Backup and sharing
Export an encrypted backup, or share a single badge with a short note. Encryption uses PBKDF2 and AES, and the password is sent separately from the file. Deleted badges go to a bin you can restore from, and snapshots take you back to an earlier state.

Privacy
No sign-up or account. Badge data, links, passwords and usage counts are never uploaded.

The app interface is currently in Chinese. Badge names, artwork and anything you type can be in any language.

QiGuang works with the physical NFC badges of Sky: Children of the Light, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by thatgamecompany.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

· Sharing a badge now lets you choose whether to include account and category labels. They are left out by default, and the recipient decides whether to use them.
· Importing a backup supports more file encodings and older formats. A damaged file is reported precisely, never imported in part.
· Fixed badges being reordered in the Shortcuts menu after a switch.
· Fixed missing feedback when batch reading meets a duplicate badge.
· Fixed Shortcuts reporting no device after all data was erased.
· Fixed categories and accounts being overwritten when local lists could not be read.
· Fixed incorrect counts when restoring or clearing a snapshot, and a failed refresh being reported as a failed write.
