Before you buy: speed, camera and scope

Bouraq is honest about its limits because a refund costs you time and costs us trust. If one of these is a deal-breaker, you will know in two minutes.

Speed: about 5 kB/s

Bouraq Prism shows six QR codes every 2.5 seconds. On a full-HD screen that is about 5 kB/s of compressed data; on a 1366×768 laptop the codes are smaller and it is slower. Codes the phone misses come back on the next loop.

Per loop, full-HD screen
1 MB of source code or CSV≈ 48 s
5 MB of logs≈ 2 min 23 s
1 MB of photos, PDF or archives≈ 3 min 10 s
10 MB of photos, PDF or archives≈ 31 min 40 s

The same model as Prism and the estimator on the home page; compression is counted cautiously.

A camera must be allowed

Bouraq reads codes with your phone, or with a computer's webcam through the Bouraq web app. Where every camera is banned, as in classified areas, cleanrooms or some trading floors, Bouraq is not the right channel.

What Bouraq is not for

  • Classified information, French Diffusion Restreinte or German VS-NfD.
  • Hundreds of megabytes: datasets, disk images, dependency bundles.
  • Patient-identifiable health data.
  • Any transfer your organisation or your client has not authorised.

What our server sees

Codes are encrypted with your account key, but our server holds that key and decrypts to rebuild the file: there is no end-to-end encryption today. Files stay in your space for up to 7 days, within a 100 MB quota. If content must never be readable by a third party, Bouraq can run on a server your organisation controls.

The way back is not optical

Changes go back through your private GitHub or GitLab repository (Prism needs to reach api.github.com or gitlab.com from your personal PC) or a USB key. If neither is allowed for you, Bouraq is a one-way tool, which many security teams prefer.

If it still does not suit you

Write to us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full, whether you are an individual or a business. Cancel at any time from Manage subscription in the app; see the terms.

Honest scope. If none of these limits stops you, Bouraq is likely to fit. If one does, it is better to know now. Security and architecture →

Questions

Can I try Bouraq before paying?
There is no free plan; there is a 14-day money-back guarantee on the first payment instead, so you can measure it with your own screen and phone at no risk. The proof on the home page shows the whole flow first.
My phone struggles to read the codes. What helps?
Full-screen Prism on the largest screen available, the phone at arm's length and steady, room light not reflecting on the screen. Missed codes come back on the next loop. A computer's webcam works too.
Does Bouraq work on any offline PC?
Any PC with a modern browser that can open a local HTML file, and a screen. Nothing to install, no admin rights.

If it fits, start today; if not, now you know.
