MeshCore Companion App
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The Official MeshCore Companion App!
Communicate without the internet!
MeshCore is a simple, secure, off-grid mesh communications system.
Build your own low-cost, long-range, encrypted messaging network.
You can still send messages even when WiFi, Cellular, and Starlink are down.
To use this app, you must have a supported LoRa radio device, that has been flashed with the MeshCore Companion Firmware.
Once you've installed the app, you will need to:
- Pair with your MeshCore device using Bluetooth.
- Set a custom display name.
- and, Configure your LoRa radio settings.
That's it! You can now advertise yourself on the network using the signal icon, and send messages to other users you have discovered on the same frequency.
When other devices on the network have been discovered, they will show up in your contacts list.
For more information, please visit the MeshCore website.
