We’ve developed several useful and free apps; here’s a description.

AirCam

AirCam is a local-network screen preview and video management tool for Android devices. It helps trusted devices on the same Wi-Fi network connect to each other, view a live screen preview, browse local videos, and manage screen recordings saved by the app.

Completely free!

Main features:

• Local Wi-Fi connection: Pair another device with a QR code instead of manually typing the service address and account details.
• WebRTC live preview: View another device’s screen on the same Wi-Fi network with low latency.
• Local video browsing: Browse videos stored on this phone and recordings created by the app.
• Screen recording save: When screen capture is enabled by the user, the app can save recordings as local video files.
• Recording file management: Organize recordings by date, then view, play, download, or delete them.
• Browser access: Start the HTTP service and use a browser on the same Wi-Fi network to access the web interface.
• Native remote access: Connect from another Android device inside the app to view WebRTC preview and remote video lists.
• Account authentication: HTTP and remote access use username and password authentication. QR codes can carry connection details for easier pairing.

Use cases:

• Use an old phone as a local-network screen preview device.
• View phone recordings or local videos from a computer browser.
• Connect multiple trusted Android devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Preview screens during development, demonstrations, or local home-network use.

Privacy and safety:

AirCam does not provide a cloud relay service. Live preview, video browsing, and recording access are designed for devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Permissions such as screen capture, microphone, local video access, and camera scanning are used only for related features and require user authorization.

Only use this app with devices and content that you own or are allowed to access. Do not use AirCam for unauthorized monitoring, recording, or access to another person’s content.

ColorSip

Completely free!

ColorSip is a lightweight screen color picker for designers, developers, and anyone who needs to capture exact colors from the screen.

Start screen color picking, grant screen recording permission, and use the floating picker to sample colors from apps, images, web pages, documents, or paused video frames. The sampling panel helps you inspect the target area and read color values clearly.

Key features:

• Pick colors from anywhere on the screen
• View color values in HEX, RGB, HSV, and CMYK formats
• Copy color values to the clipboard
• Save colors to history for later reference
• Use a floating picker that stays available while you work
• Supports portrait and landscape screen changes
• Includes an alpha value reference list for quick opacity conversion

ColorSip is useful when matching UI colors, collecting palette references, checking image colors, recording design inspiration, or converting a color into developer-friendly formats.

The floating picker is designed to stay out of the way. When you are not sampling, only the small anchor remains touchable, so normal screen taps are not blocked. You can close the picker at any time to stop the screen picking service and remove the floating window.

ColorSip focuses on simple, accurate, and fast color capture without a heavy workflow.
