I build the tools I wish already existed.
Most of these started as a small annoyance on my own PC. When the fix turns out useful, I put it here. Six apps so far, all free to download.

- Share the merged connection with your phone by QR code
- No extra hardware, no paid service, no relay server

NetMerge for Android Test builds
The same idea on a phone: Wi-Fi and mobile data working at the same time, with more traffic sent to whichever is faster.
- About 38% faster many-connection downloads, measured on a Galaxy S26 Ultra with two fast networks
- If one network drops mid-download, the stall is under 3 seconds
- A daily limit for the mobile data that merging may use
- Not released yet. Expect rough edges.

A hobby, shared
I build these in my free time because I enjoy it. They are free, and each one says plainly what it can and can't do yet. If something breaks, tell me on GitHub.
