MeshTrax

Off-grid LoRa mesh messaging

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

MeshTrax is a free, open-source companion app for MeshCore LoRa mesh networking devices. Connect to your radio and send messages across the mesh — no internet, no accounts, and no cloud servers. Communicate off-grid over long-range LoRa radio — hiking, at an event, in an emergency, or just exploring mesh networking. Your messages, contacts, and keys stay on your device and your own hardware. Note: MeshTrax is an independent, community-built client and is not the official MeshCore app. It requires a compatible MeshCore device to be useful, it is not a standalone messenger.

See the privacy policy for details. BUILT ON MESHCORE MeshTrax builds on the open MeshCore ecosystem and is forked from the open-source MeshCore Open client.
