Inter Profile Sharing vs Port Authority
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Inter Profile Sharing
This is a simple Tool allowing you to share media and text with another Android User Profile as easily as forwarding it to another App. Android's User Profiles allow isolating Apps from each other such that users are able to keep sensitive applications separate from less trustworthy ones. No profile can access the apps, app data or files of another profile, but that also means that there's no easy way for for users of profiles to exchange information. With this App you'll be able to select which information you'd like to share with other profiles on the same device. Notifications about the shared data will be shown in the other profiles allowing you to download, share or copy it from the profile the data is located in. All inter-profile communications happen locally without requiring an Internet connection, the use of servers, or involvement of 3rd party services. No Ads. No Tracking. No In-App Purchases. Free Open Source Software.
Port Authority
A handy systems and security-focused tool, Port Authority is a very fast port scanner. Port Authority also allows you to quickly discover hosts on your network and will display useful network information about your device and other hosts.One of the fastest port scanners with host discovery on the market! Host discovery is typically performed in 3 seconds. If the device you’re scanning drops packets, it takes less than 10 seconds to scan 1000 ports. If the device you’re scanning rejects packets, it takes about ~30 seconds seconds to scan all 65,535 ports!Port Authority has no ads and will never have ads. It requires extremely limited permissions since it only needs to interact with your network. The internals are designed to take advantage of today’s modern phones with multiple cores to ensure you can scan your network as fast as possible.
