About croc-app
croc-app is an Android client for croc with a modern, mobile-first UI built in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It is designed to make file and text sharing feel much more natural on Android: quick send, quick receive, QR-assisted flows, saved codes, transfer history, and better handling for the small details that matter on phones. Why this project exists? This project was inspired by croc-gui, which showed that a mobile-friendly croc experience could work. But croc-gui is older, written in Go, and lacks a number of features and UX improvements we wanted in a modern Android app.
