CameraFileCopy vs Chubby Click - Metronome
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
CameraFileCopy
Using animated bar codes, it's possible to send data over the air using only the camera. This app is the barcode decoder (receiver). An encoder (sender) can be seen at cimbar.org. With CameraFileCopy it is possible to receive data over the camera as a one-way data channel. It does not use any antennas (wifi, bluetooth, nfc, ...) or other tricks. Notably, this means it works just as well in airplane mode. The app reads animated cimbar codes. Nearly all the interesting logic is from libcimbar – included via a git subtree. The sender component of cfc is a cimbar encoder -- such as cimbar.org. Navigate to that website (or use libcimbar's cimbar_send to generate barcodes natively), open a file to initialize the cimbar stream, and point the app+camera at the animated barcode.
Chubby Click - Metronome
NOTE: The app is no longer developed. Chubby Click is a metronome designed for the musician that needs to easily manage a setlist of songs. The app features three sections: * A conventional metronome with tap tempo * A Setlist where songs can be added and sorted, and where the click for each song can be started/stopped with a single tap * A Practice section where metronome can be programmed to automatically increase/decrease BPM over time * Each beat in a bar can be accented or muted Setlists can be exported and imported. Sound (notes pitch and duration) can be customized and two presets are provided. The metronome can be controlled using media buttons on an external device (e.g. Bluetooth headphones).
