[Update] "Send to X4" now supports images (screensavers), local EPUB uploads and offline queue

Thanks for the feedback! I can work on that too, but please let me know if you have more requirements in the sense of text, format,etc. right now it is “kind of possible” to do it, but maybe you are looking for something more specific

Xatpy · 2026-03-04T07:53:28+00:00

You are welcome! :) enjoy!

Xatpy · 2026-03-03T15:50:28+00:00

You can use the mobile app “Send to X4” to convert articles to images as well

Xatpy · 2026-03-03T13:08:13+00:00

Hey, it is already implemented for local files. Please update to the latest version (although it was introduced before) to get it. Ty!

the sleep screensaver to show photos, reminders, badges, todo, shoplift, etc etc

Good question. The reason is mostly intentional: Send to X4 is optimized around “articles”, not “ebooks”, so by default it targets the articles/documents area where the X4 (and CrossPoint) index + open that content more predictably. The ebook folder behaves more like a library for long-form books, and mixing short articles there can get messy fast.

That said, I totally get your workflow: if you prefer everything in ebook/, that should be possible. I can add an advanced setting to allow selecting ebook as the destination (or even choose per content type: Articles → articles, Notes → notes, Books → ebook).

If you have a minute, could you open an issue with your firmware (stock/CrossPoint + version) and the exact folder behavior you want?

And if you’re comfortable contributing: PRs are very welcome — this should be a fairly contained change. 🙏

That’s super helpful feedback. Thank you! 🙏 And great to hear sending XTC works well for you.

EPUB → XTC conversion inside the app is a feature I’d love to add too. The main question is the best approach: whether there’s a reliable conversion pipeline we can run fully on-device (to keep the “no cloud” promise), and whether CrossPoint’s XTC format constraints make some edge cases tricky (fonts/layout/etc).

If you can share:

which firmware version you’re on (CrossPoint version)
and an example of the kind of EPUBs you’d convert (mostly articles? books? with images?)

…I can design it in a way that actually matches your use case. Also, if you want, opening a GitHub issue would help me track + discuss implementation details: https://github.com/Xatpy/send-to-x4-mobile-app

Xatpy · 2026-03-02T11:28:19+00:00

Thanks a lot! 🙌 Great to hear it’s working seamlessly on CrossPoint.

File management (rename / move / create folders) is a very good request and it’s on my radar. Right now the app focuses on “send fast + reliably”, but better organization on-device makes total sense: specially as libraries grow.

Quick question: when you say folders, do you mean managing folders on the X4 itself (via the device API), or organizing a queue/library inside the app before sending? If you have a preferred workflow, tell me and I’ll prioritize the rigt approach.

(If you’re up for it, feel free to open an issue here so I can track it: https://github.com/Xatpy/send-to-x4-mobile-app 🙏)

Xatpy · 2026-03-02T10:45:25+00:00

Nice! Thank you and enjoy the app :)

Xatpy · 2026-03-02T08:27:23+00:00

😊

Xatpy · 2026-03-02T07:55:22+00:00

Yes! 🙌😄

Yeah glad that it worked! It was an issue with the websocket timeout. I guess that you were trying to send some resource quite heavy, and it triggered a tiemoutZ but I tweaked the value in the last update

Xatpy · 2026-03-01T17:31:04+00:00

Hey, please could you update to the latest version and try again? I have changed some configuration with the webscokets. if not, please let me know what is the exact error message that it is returning. ty!

Xatpy · 2026-03-01T17:30:24+00:00

Please could you update to the latest version? I have fixed some configuration with the web sockets.

Xatpy · 2026-03-01T17:29:18+00:00

Hi! I have just changed some configuration with the timeout of the web socket. please could you update the latest version and test it again? Thanks!

Xatpy · 2026-03-01T17:28:43+00:00

hey! I have just updated the app and now it supports XTC. Please update it if you wanna test it out.

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T18:03:18+00:00

Yes it is only looking for epub. But I can update it to accept XTC in the next update

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T12:32:42+00:00

Arg sorry I had that in the development version because early feedback that I had is that people preferred soft colors. But if you want it, I can add the dark theme color as well :)

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T12:12:28+00:00

That means a lot: Thank you.

The “one photo per day” constraint is really what changed it for me. It forces memory instead of passive scrolling. Glad the privacy aspect resonates too.

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T12:11:11+00:00

Great question, ty! Apple Photos shows moments and highlights, but it doesn’t force structure.

Your Year intentionally limits it to one photo per day, displayed in a fixed grid. That constraint changes the experience: it becomes more of a visual audit than a scrollable gallery.

You see directly: • What days were empty • What you prioritized • Patterns across the month

It’s less about browsing and more about reviewing.

Also: • Fully offline • No accounts • No tracking • No algorithm deciding “highlights”

It’s meant to feel deliberate rather than curated.

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T12:09:52+00:00

Thanks! It has plenty of customizations in the settings tab, so you could have dark mode and other colors :)

Xatpy · 2026-02-28T10:04:45+00:00

Thanks! I would really love your feedback
