Move files and messages through the routes your devices actually have—without requiring a GapRelay account or a transfer cloud. OFFLINE TRANSFER • Broadcast files as resilient changing QR frames. • Use Nearby routes when both devices support a compatible direct connection. • Record QR Video on one device and decode it later on another. SIGNALS AND TAGS • Translate and practice Morse with light, sound and touch. • Generate and inspect Sonic, SSTV and DTMF signals. • Read, inspect and write compatible NDEF NFC tags. VERIFY BEFORE YOU RELEASE • Check file integrity with cryptographic hashes. • Use optional end-to-end encryption and explicit pairing verification. • Inspect received links, contacts, locations and files before acting on them. HONEST LIMITS Hardware and operating-system support varies. GapRelay shows available routes and offers fallbacks where practical.

Purchases stay with the Apple or Google account and platform where they were made. Core transfers can work without Internet. Files are processed on your device.
