QiGuang is an NFC badge library: read physical badges, organize them into a library, back them up and share them, and load the ones you use onto StarBox. Read and collect Read a badge with the phone's NFC, one at a time or a whole stack in a single pass. Badges already in the library are reported as duplicates, new ones are called out. Each entry keeps its name, artwork, usage count and notes. Basic collections stay on this phone by default; signing in to QiGuang Cloud lets you sync your collection to the service. Carry and switch Connect to StarBox, an NFC badge emulator, over Bluetooth. Several badges can be loaded at once and arranged in your own order. With iOS Shortcuts you can switch badges directly: the menu lists candidates by account and category, and remembers the ranges you use most. 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 115 badges, with the ones collected and the ones still missing, and what each account has collected. Organize Categories, account labels, favorites, search and filters. Collections stay on this phone when you are signed out. Appearance Skins include Pixel Grove, Floral Letter and Pearl Atelier. Firstlight is available only to verified Pioneer devices. The light and dark preference is yours to pick while a built-in skin is selected, and it can follow the system. 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. Create a full poster of your collection. Deleted badges go to a bin you can restore from, and snapshots take you back to an earlier state. Privacy No account is needed for a basic collection. Your data stays on this phone by default; signing in to QiGuang Cloud syncs your collection to the service. Sharing and backup passwords are never uploaded. Privacy policy: https://sky.solarcandies.xin/privacy The app interface supports Simplified Chinese and English. 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.
