Tomodachi Share is a community project for sharing Mii characters, the customizable avatars used in Nintendo games like Tomodachi Life. Instead of keeping Mii characters locked to one console, the tool lets people upload, browse, and download Mii data through a central discovery service, then import a chosen Mii back into their own console or emulator. According to the README, users can search for Miis by physical traits such as eye shape, hair color, or hairstyle, and the tool tries to detect which Tomodachi Life or Switch game a given Mii was designed for. Downloaded Miis carry a language tag so names, catchphrases, and short bios can be shown in the reader's own language. The project claims that actual Mii character data moves directly between users through encrypted channels, with only lightweight search metadata stored on its own servers, as a privacy measure. Builds are described for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Nintendo Switch homebrew, plus beta support for Android and iOS, with mentions of compatibility with the Yuzu, Ryujinx, and Skyline Switch emulators. The README documents a YAML profile format for describing a Mii's appearance and personality traits, command line options for running the tool as a background sync daemon, and optional integrations with OpenAI and Claude APIs that would suggest personality traits, backstories, and catchphrases based on a Mii's visual design, with a claim that only abstracted trait data is sent to those APIs rather than raw images. The project states it is released under the MIT license, which generally permits commercial use, modification, and private use, and it includes a disclaimer that it is an independent fan project not affiliated with Nintendo. As with any tool that exchanges data with an emulator or original save files, users should keep backups and confirm the source is trustworthy before importing anything into their own game data.
