About this app

A decentralized peer to peer messaging app that works entirely over Bluetooth mesh networks. Bitchat lets you talk to anyone nearby even when the internet is blocked, overloaded, or unavailable.

No registration, no phone numbers, no tracking, no ads. Just install and start chatting. Free and open source.

Join location based channels to talk with people in your neighborhood, city, province, or region. You can also leave notes at any location for anyone who passes by. Stay connected anywhere, on your terms.

Ratings and reviews

Every time I run this app, it checks for app store updates. If it does not detect an internet connection, the app will refuse to run or open. This poses an issue because bitchat is advertised to run without an internet connection.

Very useful tool for hiking I use this app to communicate with my friends when we go to mountains. If you see your contact step off the route but his status is"online", you can make sure that your hiking-mate is nearby and you can still contact him

works ok, but images never send even when sitting side by side. the biggest issue however is the lack of notifications. completely useless unless you're actively on the app at all times.
