Socialmesh is an offline-first companion for Meshtastic and LoRa mesh networks, built to observe, manage, and operate real mesh systems in the field.

It connects directly to Meshtastic devices over Bluetooth or USB and reflects what the mesh is actually doing — packets, hops, airtime, and decay — without pretending LoRa behaves like the internet.

Track node presence as confidence that naturally fades when packets stop arriving. Broadcast short-lived Signals that expire automatically. Explore local and global mesh activity on live maps. Diagnose radios, manage regions and channels, and automate responses — even when completely offline.

Socialmesh is device-centric and mesh-true: the UI mirrors real radio behavior rather than forcing binary "online/offline" states.
