or: a local dash for getting stuff to and from your Light Phone
This repo contains the source code for a full-stack web app - the Tool Manager (f.k.a PhotoBrowser, f.k.a FileManager) - that runs embedded within LightOS and provides a browser-based, dashboard-like UI to let users send/receive data/files to/from various tools on their Light Phone.
SOON: Tools developed using the Light SDK will be able to declare themselves as Tool Manager-capable, meaning users can securely and locally interact with those tools' content from their PC. No cloud deployments necessary. Currently, all connections/transfers run via HTTP on the user's local network.
- shared - Common data models shared across all modules.
- server - Ktor server module with HTTP API routes and File I/O glue. Targets JVM and Android.
- composeApp - Compose Multiplatform client/frontend. Provides UI templates for tools to leverage.
- serverrunner - Standalone JVM entry point for running the server locally with sample directories.
Build and run the server on your PC:
./gradlew :serverrunner:runThe frontend is automatically built and bundled into the server resources. The URL to access the app will be logged once running.
- Alt client/server builds that run over USB instead of WiFi/HTTP
- Desktop client apps? Could more easily do E2EE and auto-discover devices on the network.
- Our min SDK is 26 for Android builds but there are some minor runtime failures sitting in here.
- More templates?
- One likely one is a "Settings" template that lets you input/edit some underlying structured data.
