36kbps acoustic data transfer blows ggwave and Chirp out of the water.

Strengths
  • OFDM with channel estimation achieves 10x throughput of existing acoustic libraries.
  • Byte-verified goodput metrics with CRC-32 validation prove real-world reliability.
  • Ships with C, Kotlin, and Swift implementations for cross-platform support.
Weaknesses
  • Background noise and room acoustics will impact reliability compared to wired connections.
  • Niche use case limits adoption to specific offline or air-gapped scenarios.
Target Audience

Developers building offline-first apps, IoT hackers, security researchers

Post Description

Working with Fable 5, a MacBook, and a Pixel phone, I built an acoustic transport library that is several orders of magnitude faster than existing SoTA open source options like ggwave, quiet, minimodem, or Chirp.
