Share files, mirror screens, and turn old phones into security cameras. Everything stays local on your devices.

[Key Features]

• Security Camera Mode — Turn any old Android phone into a Wi-Fi security camera. Uses smart motion detection and differential compression to minimize battery drain and heat. The camera stays in stealth mode (screen off) while streaming live video to your main device. No internet connection required.

• File Transfer — Send photos, documents, audio, and other files directly between nearby devices over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. No cloud, no limits, no accounts needed.

• Screen Mirroring — Share your phone's screen in real time to a nearby PC or another phone over Wi-Fi. Perfect for presentations or remote assistance.

[How It Works]

Proximity Share uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and local Wi-Fi to connect devices directly. The app automatically finds the best available connection — no router or internet required.

1. Start a server on one device
2. Scan the QR code with the other device
3. You're connected — start sharing

[Battery-Optimized Security Camera]

Old phones make great security cameras, but battery drain and overheating are common problems. Proximity Share solves this with a hybrid algorithm:

• Motion detection standby — Monitors a tiny grayscale thumbnail (80x60 pixels) to detect movement. When nothing moves, the camera sleeps and saves power.
• Differential transfer — When motion is detected, only the changed region of the frame is compressed and sent, not the full image.
• Stealth mode — After a short countdown, the screen turns off completely while the camera keeps running.

[Privacy First]

• No server — all communication is device-to-device
• No data collection — settings stay on your device
• No account required — just install and use

[Supported Connections]

• Bluetooth SPP (classic) — works everywhere, ideal for small files
• Wi-Fi Direct — high-speed, no router needed
• Local Wi-Fi — fastest option when both devices share a network

[Compatibility]

Supports Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and above. Designed to run smoothly on older devices with minimal resource usage. ## Rankings - #2,947,159 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.hiro.proximityshare.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [PocketShare - File sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pixelnik.pocketshare) — 1,466 users - [FileShare Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.Lts.filesharing) — 12 users - [SharePro: File Sharing App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tigmon.sharepro) — 16,846 users - [Share Mesh - File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aerobola.sharemesh) — 88 users - [LocalShare: File Sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mindshiftz.localshare) — 22 users - [OfflineSharing: File Transfer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.staycoldsolution.offlinesharing) — 11 users - [Phone to Phone Mirror & Shoot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.phonetophonemirrorshoot) — 166 users - [Nearby Share By Plysmotix](https://chrome-stats.com/d/in.plysmotix.nearbyshare) — 25 users - [Transfer all files](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.filetransfer.shareit.plus) — 10,821 users - [Wifi ScreenShare-Stream&Mirror](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dev.swaha.wifiscreenshare) — 179 users - [EasyShare - Share Files Fast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/lat.jang.easyshare2) — 7,580 users - [Quick share :Fast File sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.harsh229.sharing) — 3,043 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hiro.proximityshare)
