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.
