Silent Share

Silent Share is an Android app that lets you share personal information with others visually in-person.

For example, if you're standing at a store checkout or reception desk and need to tell someone your personal information (such as your phone number or date-of-birth), anyone standing nearby can overhear it. Instead, you can use Silent Share to visually display the information on your phone in a large, easy-to-read font.

We recommend using Obtainium to install/update Silent Share.

How To Use

The main screen shows the default user account ('Me') and some dummy fields ('Name' and 'Phone'). Use the floating Edit button to add, edit and remove fields. Fields can have any name and value you like, and you can add as many fields as you like.

To show someone your information, from the main screen check the boxes next to the fields you want to show, then press the floating View button.

You can add other users' information too (or just divide your own information between multiple 'accounts'). Press the User icon on the main screen to see a list of users. Press on a user to see and edit their information, or use the floating button and menu to add or edit/delete users respectively.

Privacy and Security

Silent Share has no internet permission, so your information never leaves your device. However, your information is stored unencrypted on your device, so do not use this app to store sensitive information like passwords.

Silent Share is free and open source, released under the GPL v3.0 or later (GPL-3.0-or-later) licence.
