QRoss

Want to copy text across devices that aren't logged in to the same accounts, or are simply on different platforms (i.e. a computer)? If you're a person working with text or small images, across multiple devices, you'd know this scenario. Usually you might resort to copying that particular text you want to transfer, pasting it into your messaging app of choice, and then copy it from that app on your destination device. But is that really the optimal way to do things? QRoss is born from that particular scenario, causing me, personally, annoyance. And it also ruins the working mood. This app aims to make that particular step in your workflow as short as possible. Just copy the text you want to copy as usual, open the app, the app launches and instantly displays the text you copied as a QR code, you open the same app on your destination device, point it at the QR code, and the text is instantly copied into your clipboard, ready to be pasted. Whatever your workflow, whether it be addresses, plain text documents, memos. This might be useful for you. At least I know it is for me. Anyway, thanks for checking this out! * Additionally, this supports image transfer. However, images are compressed to 40000 pixels per image. This is to keep transfer times bearable, and a normal human can only hold a phone still for so long. - To generate QR codes from text any time on a computer or other devices, visit swittssoftware.com/qross - you can hide ads in the "About" screen
