Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
ShadowCat is a single-file, browser-based tool for optical file transfer that encodes data into visual patterns (QR-like codes) displayed on screen, which can then be captured and decoded by another device's camera. It enables air-gapped, offline file transfers between devices using only a browser, with no network connection required. The project is open-source and hosted on GitHub, designed for simplicity and portability in a single HTML file.
