New in version 0.7.0
Adds photo and video capture. Stills are saved to Pictures/Otoscope and clips to Movies/Otoscope, as you see them on screen but without the mirror. An optional caption such as "Left ear" can be burnt into the corner of each capture, and a built-in gallery lets you review, play back, share and delete them. No storage permission is requested and no audio is recorded.
Otoscope is a clean, ad-free replacement for the proprietary apps shipped with cheap Wi-Fi otoscope cameras.
The stock companion apps generally bundle lots of ad and analytics SDKs (AdMob, AppLovin, IronSource, MBridge, Vungle, Pangle, Mintegral, etc.) and in-app tracking.
Otoscope reimplements essential connection and viewer functionalities, with nothing else.
Features:
• Discover the camera over Bluetooth Low Energy or Wi-Fi.
• Join the camera's Wi-Fi access point in a one-process scope, so the rest of your traffic isn't affected.
• Live video stream, decoded in-app over the camera's protocol (UDP or RTSP). Pure Kotlin, no FFmpeg, no native blobs.
• Auto-rotation driven by the camera's on-board accelerometer / gyro.
• Horizontal-mirror toggle for self-examination.
• Circular mask matching the otoscope lens.
• Photo and video capture with a built-in gallery to review, share and delete them.
• Optional caption burnt into the corner of each capture to tell what's being recorded.
Supported hardware families:
• Xylla — SSID `Enjoy-XXXXXX` or `JesHome-XXXX`.
• iTiMO — SSID `iTiMO-XXXXXX` or `jetion_XXXX`.
• JEGOAT — SSID `softish-XXXXXX`.
• EarFairy — SSID `Cooleer_XXXXXX`.
Otoscope is GPL-3.0-or-later and contains no third-party trackers, ad SDKs, or proprietary native libraries.
