For the work on this application, I wanted to focus more on the protocol parts, as that was more uncertain. This was basically just a test for the later iOS and possibly Android version. As a result, I used a GUI setup that I was already familiar with and could code quickly. This ended up being node-webkit. The entire interface is written in web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
The file you're downloading is my code bundled with a special version of the webkit engine. I realized that the file size would be in the 60 MB range when making this decision, and modern computers don't really have an issue with storage, so I went with it.
Writing this in web technologies also gave me a very large amount of control over how I wanted this to look, which was huge bonus for me.
