We need software to protect privacy, not security cargo-cult and bizzare homebrew encryption schemes
>... The first step is always optical, and that is an exchange of an AES 256bit key, plus an authentication key, and so those are the keys to encrypt the One-time pad as it’s being transferred ...
This software does not use one-time pad. It uses AES-256 with some extra hoops.
Authors are either incompetent, thinking that having message-sized chunk of random data somewhere during encryption is 'one-time pad', or dishonest, using 'one-time pad' as empty buzzword. Both are huge red flags against using that software
