Photo of the 2BIT BRIDGE dongle that looks like a small Game Boy cartridge. There's a USB-C end on the top, and the "cartridge" has a photo I took of the Brooklyn Bridge on it.

Mounts on your phone or laptop so you can view and copy from your PicNRec.

Please make sure to back up your important data! This is still in the early phases, and I may need to make backwards-incompatible schema changes to provide new features.

A central server is used to relay data between your devices, but all data including images is end-to-end encrypted using passkey login.
