OpenBridge v1.0.0

OpenBridge 1.0: files, text and your screen between an Android phone and a Mac, Windows or Linux computer, over Wi‑Fi, a cable or the phone's own hotspot. No account, no cloud. Everything from 0.13 (Fast USB, texts, Linux, Windows USB browsing, the new phone design and looks, self-installing updates), plus a bug-fix pass over all four apps.

What 1.0 promises

• The protocol is frozen. Any 1.x computer works with any 1.x phone; new features only ever add operations (see docs/protocol.md).
• Updates in place. The APK is signed with the OpenBridge key, and every app can update itself from here on, checked against each release's SHA256SUMS.txt.

Fixed

• Android: sharing files or the clipboard to OpenBridge no longer queues everything twice when the phone is rotated meanwhile.
• Android: trusted computers, texts and waiting files are no longer copied to a new phone in Android 12+ device-to-device transfers.
• Android: with "Keep sharing in the background" off, sharing to OpenBridge from another app or the tile no longer starts sharing unseen; it opens the app instead.
• Android: stopping and restarting sharing quickly keeps the usual port, so saved computers find the phone right away.
• Android: a rare crash when sharing stopped just as its background notification was starting.
• Android: the share button no longer animates behind Settings or when scrolled away, saving battery.
• Whole phone: previews no longer hold up browsing, downloads and search while a computer loads them.
• Windows and Linux: Fast USB no longer stops working, and quitting no longer hangs, when adb gets stuck on a phone.
• Windows: installing an update no longer risks adb keeping the app's files in use; Fast USB carries on if the installer fails to start.
• Windows and Linux: if switching from Wi‑Fi to Fast USB fails, the app stays connected over Wi‑Fi instead of dropping the phone.
• Windows and Linux: transfer errors (file gone, already exists, changed, too large) are shown in Chinese too.
• Mac: no leftover Fast USB tunnel when moving from Wi‑Fi to the cable doesn't work.
• Mac: after Disconnect, a phone in File transfer mode is no longer reopened in the background.
• Mac: after a self-update, the downloaded disk image is ejected and removed.
• Mac: Aurora and Tide stop animating while the window is minimized or hidden.
• Mac: ⌘↑ and ⌘↓ in the search field move the text cursor instead of changing folders or downloading.
• Mac: copying a text from Texts history no longer sends it back to the phone when automatic sending is on.

Notes

• Coming from 0.13: just click Update in each app. From older versions, download once from the release page.
• Aurora and Tide are still marked Preview: tell us what you think.
