## Description

ShareByLight moves files from one device to another using only the screen and camera.

What it’s for
• Pass a file when you don’t want (or can’t use) Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, between air gapped devices
• Share between iPhone, iPad, and Mac without a network
• Keep the transfer offline and local to the devices in front of you

How it works
1. On one device, choose a file and start the stream
2. On the other device, open Receive and point the camera at the screen
3. When the transfer finishes, save the file

Features
• Send and receive on the same app
• Works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Optional password protection for the file
• Clear progress while the transfer runs
• Free: one direction and small files
• Pro: both directions and larger files

Tips for a smooth transfer
• Max brightness on the sending screen
• Hold steady and fill the frame
• Reduce glare and strong backlight

No account required. No cloud. Data moves as light between the devices you choose.
