Heliograph sends a file straight from one device to another — over Bluetooth, a local Wi-Fi network, or a flickering QR code — whichever the two devices can actually reach each other with. No account. No cloud. No server ever sees what you send.
Nobody arrives at this app wanting Bluetooth. They arrive wanting a file to be on the other phone. So Heliograph works that part out for itself.
Bluetooth to find the other device, local Wi-Fi for the bulk of a large file, or a flickering QR code when neither radio can reach. You pick send or receive — not a transport.
Transfers are coded so a dropped connection resumes exactly where it left off, instead of starting the whole file over from zero.
No account, no server, no cloud copy of your file sitting anywhere. It moves from one device to the other and nowhere else.
Photos, videos, documents, anything on the device — Heliograph doesn't care what it is, only that it needs to get to the other phone.
Are you giving, or getting? That's the whole decision.
Choose what to send. Heliograph starts advertising itself immediately, over everything it has.
It listens on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and camera at once — nearby senders just appear, no pairing screen to get through.
Whichever path is fastest between those two specific devices right now is the one it uses — and it'll say so.
