Overview
Text Editor turns Passport Prime into a self-contained place to read and change the files it already carries: recovery notes, configuration, exported records. It presents a Files-style view across all three storage locations, Internal, Airlock, and USB, switchable with one tap and with full folder navigation. Tap a file to open it, edit with the on-screen keyboard, and save, without ever plugging into a computer.
Everything happens on the device. Passport has no network stack, so nothing you write leaves it unless you move it yourself. The app is careful with data: files that are not text are detected and reported rather than opened as garbage, and deletes ask for confirmation.
What it does
- Browse Internal, Airlock, and USB storage, switchable with one tap.
- Full folder navigation in a familiar Files-app-style view.
- Full-screen, scrollable editor that keeps text visible above the on-screen keyboard.
- Create files and folders, rename, and delete from a menu and per-row actions.
- Show or hide hidden files whenever you need to see everything.
- Non-text files are detected and reported instead of opened as garbage.
- Deletes ask for confirmation, and nothing leaves the device unless you move it yourself.
Technical breakdown
How the proof-of-concept is built, for developers evaluating the platform.
All three storage locations
Reads Internal, Airlock, and USB storage in one Files-style view, switchable with a single tap and with full folder navigation.
Open, edit, save
A full-screen, scrollable editor keeps your text visible above the on-screen keyboard, so you can read and change files directly on the device.
Safe with your data
Files that are not text are detected and reported instead of being opened as garbage, and deletes ask for confirmation. Offline by design, since Passport has no network stack.
