In plain English

Tomodachi Share is a desktop application for players of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a life simulation game where you create and manage digital characters called Miis. The problem it solves: sharing your custom Miis or island data with other players is not straightforward inside the game itself, so this tool provides a dedicated interface for doing exactly that. With it, you can export your Miis as QR codes that other players can scan and import into their own game, share full island save files, and export or import special items and treasures. There is also a community discovery feature that lets you browse Miis shared by other players. The tool supports batch processing, so you can handle multiple Miis at once instead of one at a time. The interface is described as clean and simple. To use it, you download a zip file, extract it, and run the included program, pointing it at your Tomodachi Life game folder if needed. The README includes a troubleshooting table covering common issues such as the app not starting, QR codes not scanning, files failing to import, and antivirus software flagging the program. You would use this if you play Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on PC and want to share your characters with friends or find community made Miis to add to your island. It is a Windows desktop app, written in TypeScript, and distributed as a downloadable zip file rather than through an app store. The project is released under the MIT license.
