What is a .bag file?
ROS bag files store recorded ROS topic messages for robotics, simulation, autonomy, sensors, images, point clouds, and logs.
Why is .bag hard to open on a phone?
- Phone file viewers usually cannot inspect ROS bag containers or topic metadata.
- Bags can contain many heterogeneous topics and large chunks of serialized robotics data.
- A local summary helps confirm what was recorded without uploading robot or sensor data.
What OpenOnPhone does not do
OpenOnPhone is for quick local inspection. It does not replace the original professional app for editing, conversion, exact layout, formulas, measurements, security review, or full workflow features.
MIME examples
