## What it is
Badge Magic is a cross-platform mobile and desktop app for creating text, drawings, and animations on LED name badges and transferring them over Bluetooth Low Energy. It is part of a FOSSASIA ecosystem including firmware, hardware, and a Python library for compatible LED badges.

## Use cases
- display my name on an LED name badge from my phone
- send animated text to an LED badge over bluetooth
- draw cliparts and icons on an LED badge
- save and manage multiple badge messages
- control LED badge animations and speed
- program an LED name badge without proprietary software

## When to choose
- you own a compatible LED name badge and want an open-source app to control it
- you need animated text and clipart on an LED badge from Android, iOS, or Linux
- you want to batch-manage and share badge designs across devices

## When to avoid
- your LED badge hardware is not one of the supported models
- you need a purely web-based tool with no app installation
- you require non-Bluetooth transfer methods
