## What it is
A proof-of-concept browser application that shares files between nearby devices by performing WebRTC signaling through audio tones instead of a signaling server. Peers exchange SDP data via sound, then transfer files over a local WebRTC connection.

## Use cases
- share files between devices without any server
- transfer files peer-to-peer over sound
- establish webrtc connection without signaling server
- send data between devices using audio tones
- airgap-adjacent local file transfer in the same room

## When to choose
- you need serverless file sharing between nearby devices with mic and speakers
- you want a demo of data-over-sound WebRTC signaling
- devices are on the same LAN and within earshot

## When to avoid
- you need to transfer files over long distances or across networks
- you need high-throughput transfers (audio signaling is very slow)
- you need a production-ready file sharing tool rather than a proof of concept

## Facets
- artifact type: application
