About CameraFileCopy

Using animated bar codes, it's possible to send data over the air using only the camera. This app is the barcode decoder (receiver). An encoder (sender) can be seen at cimbar.org.

With CameraFileCopy it is possible to receive data over the camera as a one-way data channel. It does not use any antennas (wifi, bluetooth, nfc, ...) or other tricks. Notably, this means it works just as well in airplane mode.

The app reads animated cimbar codes. Nearly all the interesting logic is from libcimbar – included via a git subtree. The sender component of cfc is a cimbar encoder -- such as cimbar.org. Navigate to that website (or use libcimbar's cimbar_send to generate barcodes natively), open a file to initialize the cimbar stream, and point the app+camera at the animated barcode.

Release info Update on Aug 26, 2026
Release notes boring maintenance release!

Notes:
• the play store made us do a release to bump the targetsdk version!
• thanks google!
• anyway, the apk is now 500kb smaller. So that's nice
• misc small bugfixes, including security/hardening upgrades for decoder
• the shader used for the encoder view now targets an older GLSL standard, which *might* allow it to work on (certain) older devices
• the encoder view now uses reproducible build bits. If you don't know what this is, don't worry about it. :)
• fdroid build still broken, hoping this helps a bit... may have to fix it myself...
