NearTalk - Offline Secure Mesh Messaging

NearTalk is a private and secure, offline messaging app that lets you communicate with people nearby without internet or cellular networks.
It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networking to create a direct, device-to-device communication network that works anywhere.

* There are no middle servers, no accounts, and no phone numbers.
Just you and nearby devices.

* Communicate Without Internet, Roaming, or Cell Towers.
