README

An iPhone app that keeps your Social Stream Ninja and VDO.Ninja links in one place. Scan the QR code a page shows on your computer and the link is saved, named after what it is.

  • Scan a QR code with the camera (torch for dark rooms), or paste or type a link.
  • Recognises Social Stream Ninja pages (Dock, Featured and other overlays, with the session id) and VDO.Ninja links (Camera/push, Viewer, Director, Scene, Room guest). Anything else is kept under "Other links".
  • Manage: rename, add notes, search, reorder, delete. Scanning a link you already have shows the saved one.
  • Use: open in-app or in Safari, copy, share, or show it again as a big QR code for another device.
  • Links stay on the phone (Application Support, file protection on). Session ids work like passwords, so the app never sends them anywhere.

Install with AltStore

In AltStore, go to Browse › Sources › + and add:

https://kshitizwagle.com.np/altstore

Or download NinjaLinks-unsigned.ipa from the latest release and open it with AltStore or Sideloadly, which sign it with your Apple ID. Needs iOS 16 or later.

Build

The app is SwiftUI with an XcodeGen spec (ios/project.yml), so the .xcodeproj isn't committed.

cd ios && xcodegen && open NinjaLinks.xcodeproj

On every push, GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs the tests on a macOS runner and builds an unsigned IPA. Each green build on main becomes the next vX.Y.Z release ([minor] or [major] in the commit message bumps those). The AltStore source is built from these releases in kshitizwagle/altstore, which also lists my other apps.

The icon is drawn by scripts/make-icon.ps1 (copy it to icons/ninja-links.png in the altstore repo too).
