# t4t5/owly

> Radio backend for omdrop that brings AirDrop to non-Apple Wi-Fi cards. It runs AWDL in userspace via OWL on a monitor interface, targeting the MediaTek MT7925 while Wi-Fi stays connected.

- Magnitude: 0.2 out of 10 — Cooling
- Stars: 2,938 total · Not enough measurements today

## Useful for

- Install the omdrop radio helper on a Framework 13 to exchange AirDrop files with iPhones
- Add support for your own Wi-Fi card by testing injection and proposing an owl-profiles entry
- Check with omdrop-discoverable probe whether the current Wi-Fi driver is in the way

## Why it’s here

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
