Intare v0.2

What's new

• Battery-optimization exemption — Intare now asks to run with unrestricted battery use so Doze / app standby can't throttle or kill the background SMB server. The main screen shows an Allow unrestricted battery banner while the exemption isn't granted; tapping it opens the system dialog (falls back to the battery settings screen where the direct request isn't available).

Install

• Intare-v0.2.apk (signed release, versionCode 2). Install over v0.1 without uninstalling — the signing key is unchanged.

Notes

• SMB1 only, on port 4450 (445 needs root on the device). Linux: smbclient -p 4450 -m NT1. Windows: net use Z: \\<ip>\Intare /TCPPORT:4450.

Intare v0.1

Intare v0.1 — first public release. Turn your Android phone/tablet into an SMB file server (no root, no USB).

Features

• Shares external storage over SMB1/TCP on port 4450, guest access
• Appears automatically in macOS Finder (Network) and Windows via mDNS/Bonjour
• Shows the IPs of connected devices on screen; beeps when a device connects or disconnects — even while the app is closed
• Runs as a background service that keeps serving after the app is closed (stop via the in-app button or notification Stop)

Install
Download Intare-v0.1.apk and sideload it. If you previously installed a debug build, uninstall it first (the release APK is signed with a different key).

Caveats

• SMB1 only: Linux needs smbclient -m NT1, Windows needs SMB1 enabled or net use Z: \\<ip>\Intare /TCPPORT:4450
• Port 4450 (445 needs root on Android)
• Keep it on a trusted network — guest access, no password
