iPhone
New in 1.1: a firmware check for both networks, easy MeshCore setup, #hashtag channels and a chat history for each radio. Meshtastic and MeshCore, one app.
Works with Meshtastic® and MeshCore radios: one app that speaks both.
ONE APP, BOTH NETWORKS
• Connect a Meshtastic node and a MeshCore node at the same time
• Messages, channels and direct chats on each network
• People: everyone your radios know, with the same person merged across networks
• One map with both networks' nodes
THE BRIDGE
Relay a private channel between Meshtastic and MeshCore through your phone. Write "@name" to reach someone privately on the other network, and replies find their way back. Geo Gifts cross too.
GAMES OUTSIDE
• Fox Hunt: hide a node and find it by signal with a radar scope. Host from your phone; friends join with one QR code. No server.
• Geo Gifts: messages that only open when someone stands on the spot.
• Daily Fox: a real node near you is today's fox.
• MeshCore fox hunt: find a real repeater by its signal.
TOOLS
• My Mesh: every radio you own on both networks, and what each one does, in plain English
• Signal, hops and route on every message, with the raw packet one long-press away
• Node settings for both networks: radio, channels (create, share, join by QR), position, power
• Repeater admin for MeshCore: log in over the air, live status, remote console
• Trace route with signal at every hop
• One-tap fox and base-station setups
• Home Screen widget with both nodes, the bridge and the latest messages
NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING
Wildcat talks to your radio over Bluetooth. It has no account and no servers, and it collects no data.
No radio yet? Tap Practice to try everything with pretend nodes.
Requires a Meshtastic or MeshCore radio (Companion Bluetooth firmware for MeshCore) for real use.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Firmware updates: check for new Meshtastic and MeshCore firmware from Node settings or the menu. Wildcat tells you when a newer release is out and links to the official release page. It never installs anything itself.
• Each Meshtastic radio now keeps its own chat history.
• MeshCore: set up a new node step by step, #hashtag channels, rename channels, share them with the official link, and retry a direct message that didn't get through.
• MeshCore messages now sync fully when you reconnect.
• Blocking someone on MeshCore by name also stops their direct messages and room posts.
• A new ≡ menu holds the app-wide items: Guide, Safety, Firmware, Den and About.
• Repeater hunt and Solo hunt are on their network tabs too.
• An updated guide, with Meshtastic and MeshCore side by side.
