Kiba: Off Grid Communication
Outdoor Location & Messaging
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Kiba is the off-grid communication app built for anyone who loves the outdoors. Whether you're deep in the backcountry or miles from the nearest tower, stay connected with your crew.
Every outdoor adventure comes with the same worry: where is everyone, and why aren't they responding? Losing track of your group causes stress, anxiety, and poor coordination when it matters most.
Kiba solves that with offline messaging, real-time location sharing, and waypoint sharing that works anywhere. No cell signal, no Wi-Fi, no satellites required.
HOW IT WORKS
Kiba pairs via Bluetooth with a Kiba mesh radio. The radio broadcasts your messages, location, and waypoints across your group using long range radio waves. No towers, no satellites, no lag. Everyone in your group needs a Kiba radio and the app to stay connected.
FEATURES
Offline Messaging: Send and receive encrypted messages between your group with zero cell service, delivered instantly.
Live Location Sharing: See your entire crew on a real-time map, no bars needed.
Group Trail Tracking: See where everyone has been with live trail lines on the map.
Waypoint Sharing: Drop and share pins instantly. Camp, trailhead, meeting spot, whatever matters.
Route Planning: Plan your route before you head out and share it with your group.
AR Waypoint View: Point your phone and see waypoints and group members overlaid in augmented reality.
Offline Maps: Satellite and topo maps downloaded before you go, no signal needed.
Public and Private Land Boundaries: Know exactly where you stand. Land ownership boundaries currently available for Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming, with more states coming soon.
Private Group Communication: Military-grade encryption keeps your communication private and within your group.
