## Description

BLE Relay lets you share a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device with another<br>phone or tablet over the network — no physical proximity required.<br><br>One device (the &quot;host&quot;) holds the real Bluetooth connection to your BLE<br>peripheral. Another device (the &quot;client&quot;) connects to it remotely through a<br>relay server, and can read, write, and subscribe to that peripheral exactly<br>as if it were connected locally.<br><br>Useful for:<br>• Testing or debugging a BLE peripheral from a different room or building<br>• Letting a teammate interact with your BLE device without being near it<br>• Bridging a BLE-only device onto a network so more than one client can use it<br><br>Features:<br>• Host or client roles from the same app<br>• QR-code pairing — scan a code to join a session instantly, or type the<br>  username/password manually<br>• Optional TLS (wss://) for encrypted relay connections<br>• Foreground notification keeps the connection alive while hosting, even<br>  with the screen off<br>• Point the app at your own relay server — you control where your data goes<br><br>Requirements: you need a relay server (relayd) to connect through. See the<br>project repository for setup instructions.
