Open TAR on Phone

TAR stores many files and folders in one archive without compression.

• Phone file apps often treat Unix archive formats as unknown files.
• You may only need to confirm file type, size, or top-level paths.
• Opening archives in the wrong app can create unwanted extracted files on the phone.

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.
