PhotonDrop is the next-generation, 100% air-gapped optical file transfer application designed for ultimate privacy and speed.
Transfer photos, videos, confidential documents, and archives between devices using animated high-speed QR streams — zero Wi-Fi, zero Bluetooth, zero cellular data, and zero cloud servers required.
WHY PHOTONDROP?
• 100% Air-Gapped & Offline: Your data never touches any network, antenna, or external server.
• High-Speed Fountain Code: Powered by Luby Transform (LT) erasure coding, packets are reconstructed in real-time even with camera movement or glare.
• End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): Optional AES-256 GCM encryption with custom PIN/Passphrase. Even if someone records the screen, they cannot decrypt the content without the key.
• Turbo 2×2 Multi-Stream: Transmit 4 parallel QR codes simultaneously to reach speeds of up to 1-2 MB/s.
• Cross-Platform & Universal: Send and receive any file type (PDF, MP4, JPG, ZIP, TXT) across modern smartphones and tablets.
• 10 Built-in Languages: Full instant localization in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic (with RTL support).
• Zero Telemetry: No analytics, no tracking, no cookies, no permissions other than camera for optical scanning.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. SENDER: Select any file or paste text. PhotonDrop converts the data into an animated optical fountain stream.
2. RECEIVER: Point the camera at the sender's screen. The optical sensor captures and reassembles the data chunks in real time.
3. DONE: Save directly to your Photos or Files app with one tap.
