Byte Blaster

Byte Blaster is a cross-platform file transfer application designed to provide a seamless and efficient solution for transferring files between devices, supporting both desktop and mobile platforms. Conceived as a Kotlin Multiplatform ( KMP) contest project after shifting focus from Flareon due to time constraints and complexity, Byte Blaster offers a complete, user-friendly experience with a focus on performance and moder design.

Features

• Cross-Platform Support: Works on both desktop and mobile devices, ensuring broad accessibility for users across different ecosystems.
• Custom File Transfer Protocol: Utilizes a custom-built protocol to ensure fast, secure, and reliable file transfers between devices.
• mDNS Device Discovery: Leverages Multicast DNS (mDNS) to automatically discover devices on the same network, simplifying the connection process without manual configuration.
• Sleek UI with Jetpack Compose: Features a modern, intuitive user interface built with Jetpack Compose, providing a consistent and visually appealing experience across platforms.

Purpose

Byte Blaster was developed to address the need for a simple yet powerful file transfer solution that works across platforms. By combining a custom protocol with mDNS device discovery, it eliminates common pain points in file sharing, such as manual IP configuration or reliance on third-party cloud services. The use of Jetpack Compose ensures a visually appealing and user-friendly interface, making file transfers accessible to both technical and non-technical users.

Status

In Development: Byte Blaster is currently under active development, with ongoing work to refine the file transfer protocol, enhance device discovery, and polish the user interface.
