Editor's Overview

NFC Archiver is a connectivity application developed by mezinster, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 53.79 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 53.79 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "mezinster" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

A distributed data archive system using NFC tags. Store files across multiple NFC tags and restore them later.

Split any file into parts and write them to NFC tags. Scan the tags in any order to reassemble and restore the original file.

Features:
* File archiving — split any file into parts for writing to NFC tags
* Text archiving — store text messages across NFC tags
* Restoration — scan tags in any order and assemble the original file
* Compression — optional GZIP compression to reduce the number of tags needed
* Encryption — AES-256-GCM encryption with password protection (PBKDF2 key derivation)
* Offline operation — no network connection required
* Chameleon Ultra — connect a Chameleon over Bluetooth and use it instead of the phone's NFC radio
* MIFARE Classic 1K — 752 usable bytes per card, with a Chameleon or a phone whose NFC chipset supports it
* Card inspector — dump a card block by block with a decoded NFAR header and CRC check (needs a Chameleon)

Supported NFC Tags:
* NTAG213 (144 bytes)
* NTAG215 (504 bytes)
* NTAG216 (888 bytes)
* MIFARE Ultralight (48 bytes)
* MIFARE Ultralight C (144 bytes)

Uses the NFAR v1 binary format with a 28-byte header, CRC32 integrity checking, and UUID-based archive identification. Chunks can be scanned in any order and are validated automatically.

NFC Archiver is free and open source software. No tracking, no ads, no network access required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NFC Archiver free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does NFC Archiver require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is NFC Archiver safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by mezinster. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update NFC Archiver?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
