v0.1.1

Braid for Android 0.1.1: honest units, in step with Braid on your computer.

Download braid-android-0.1.1.apk. It installs over 0.1.0 and keeps your pairings and settings. It is one APK for every Android phone (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86), and needs Android 8.0 or newer.

What changed

• Sizes and speeds are now counted in binary units and labelled to match: KiB, MiB and GiB, KiB/s and MiB/s. The desktop made the same change, so one transfer shows the same number with the same unit on both screens.
• The mobile data limit is entered in MiB.
• The activity chart's scale steps through round binary figures (256 KiB/s, 1 MiB/s, 4 MiB/s).
• The usage note the phone sends to the desktop uses the same units.

Nothing else changed: pairing, lanes and the relay behave exactly as in 0.1.0.

v0.1.0

The first release of Braid for Android: lend your phone's mobile data to Braid on your computer as an extra download path.

Download braid-android-0.1.0.apk. It is one APK for every Android phone (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86), because the app has no native code. It needs Android 8.0 or newer and Braid for your computer.

What's in it

• Mobile data and Wi-Fi offered as separate lanes, each bound to its own network. A lane never falls back to another.
• Bytes relayed untouched: no compression, caching or retries.
• Pairing by scanning the code Braid shows, by Braid's Scan with a confirmation on the phone, or by typing an address.
• Codes accepted only for computers on the phone's own network. Keys stored as hashes, and Forget cuts a computer off at once.
• Per-network switches, an optional mobile data limit per session, and live activity: speed per network, data used, and open connections.
• Keeps sharing with the screen off, as a foreground service with a visible notification.
• Light and dark themes in Braid's colours.
