MeshCoreScanner

Meshcore coverage mapper

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Discover and map LoRa mesh repeaters live as you drive — signal strength, trends, alerts and a glanceable Driving Mode. MeshCoreScanner is a companion app for MeshCore BLE radio devices that maps LoRa mesh network coverage in real time. Connect to your MeshCore companion radio via Bluetooth Low Energy and start scanning for nearby repeaters as you move. The app automatically triggers discovery scans based on distance traveled or time intervals, logging every repeater response with signal strength, SNR, and GPS coordinates. KEY FEATURES • Live Coverage Mapping — Scan points and discovered repeaters are plotted on an OpenStreetMap-based map as you travel • Repeater Database — All discovered repeaters are cataloged with signal quality, node type, coordinates, and discovery history • Coverage Visualization — View per-repeater coverage areas based on aggregated scan data • Scan Sessions — Organize your scanning activity into sessions for easy comparison and management • Scan-to-Repeater Lines — Tap any scan point to see connections to all repeaters heard at that location • Background Scanning — Continues scanning while the app is in the background using GPS and BLE • Distance or Time Trigger — Configure scans to trigger every X meters or every X seconds • Data Management — Delete repeaters by age or distance, filter imports, manage sessions • GeoJSON Export — Share your coverage data for analysis in external tools • Fully Offline — All data is stored locally on your device, no account or internet connection required REQUIREMENTS • A MeshCore-compatible BLE companion radio device • iPhone with Bluetooth Low Energy support • Location permission for GPS-based scan mapping MeshCoreScanner is built for the MeshCore LoRa mesh networking community. Whether you're planning repeater placement, verifying coverage, or exploring network reach — this app gives you the data you need.

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Version 2.0 — a refreshed interface, built for scanning on the move. • New live status panel on the map: a clean, expandable panel at the top shows the current scan status, a summary of the last scan, and the most recent repeaters in large type — each with its signal strength (SNR), a trend arrow, and a "NEW" badge for first-time finds. Swipe it up (or tap the chevron) to collapse it to a slim status bar and free up the map. • Driving Mode: tap the car button on the map for a full-screen, glanceable display of the latest repeaters in large, high-contrast type — perfect for tracking repeaters as they appear while you drive. Tuned so several repeaters fit on screen at once, and the screen stays awake. • Signal trend arrows: see at a glance whether a repeater's signal is getting stronger or weaker since the last scan — handy for telling whether you're getting closer. • "NEW" badge: repeaters seen for the first time in the current scan are clearly marked. • New repeater alerts (off by default): get a sound and a vibration the moment a repeater you've never seen before is discovered, so you can keep your eyes on the road. Turn it on in Settings → Alerts. • Polish language support. • Performance: faster map rendering with cached coverage areas. Thanks for using MeshCore Scanner. Drive safely!
