NearChat - Offline Messaging

Private Nearby Contact Chat

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Message trusted contacts nearby without internet. NearChat uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct for local, contacts-only messaging. Perfect for: - Conferences and events where WiFi is overloaded - Remote locations without cell coverage - Private conversations that stay truly local - Teams working in the same space HOW IT WORKS Exchange NearChat IDs (or scan Contact QR) with people you know, then add them as trusted contacts in Settings. NearChat does not randomly connect users or enable anonymous chat with unknown people. Users appear in Nearby and can chat only after both sides exchange and add Contact QR/ID. FEATURES - Works completely offline - Contacts-only communication (no random or anonymous matching) - No accounts, no phone numbers - Messages stored locally on your device - Trusted-contact discovery only - Message queuing for offline contacts - Delivery confirmations - Clean, simple interface Your messages never touch the internet. They travel directly between devices, keeping your conversations private by design. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
