About this app
Connect your phone to MeshCore LoRa hardware and communicate completely off-grid. Send messages, share locations, and stay connected when cellular networks aren’t available.
MeshCore Open is a free, open-source Android app that turns your MeshCore LoRa device into a powerful mesh communication system. It’s built for reliability, privacy, and independence—ideal for remote travel, emergency preparedness, events, or building your own private network.
FEATURES
Off-Grid Messaging
Send and receive text messages over LoRa radio with no cell towers, no internet, and no monthly fees. Messages automatically hop through nearby nodes to reach contacts miles away.
Channels
Join public channels or create private, encrypted channels for group conversations. Great for teams, communities, and coordinated events.
Location Sharing
Share your GPS location with contacts and see everyone’s position on the map in real time.
Interactive Map
View contacts on a built-in map with offline tile caching, so it keeps working even without internet access.
GIFs & Media
Add GIFs to messages when an internet connection is available (optional).
Repeater Management
Configure and monitor MeshCore repeater nodes to extend coverage and improve network reliability.
Background Connectivity
Stay connected while the app runs in the background and receive notifications for incoming messages.
Dark Mode
Full dark theme support for comfortable use day or night.
HOW IT WORKS
Pair your phone with a MeshCore LoRa device via Bluetooth
The app communicates directly with your MeshCore hardware
Messages are transmitted over LoRa radio
Other nodes relay messages through the mesh to reach their destination
REQUIREMENTS
MeshCore-compatible LoRa hardware (sold separately)
Android device with Bluetooth Low Energy
Location permission (required by Android for Bluetooth scanning)
OPEN SOURCE & PRIVACY
MeshCore Open is 100% open source.
No ads. No tracking. No data collection.
All messages and data stay on your device and your mesh network. You can view the source code, report issues, or contribute via the project’s GitHub repository.
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
