Control your computer with an NFC or RFID device.
NFCActions allows for you to use any NFC tag or card (think old hotel keys, cruise cards, even some passports) to perform any action on your NFC-compatible computer. By scanning the tag on your computer's NFC sensor, you can open websites, applications, and run commands.
