Off-grid peer-to-peer messaging powered by Bluetooth mesh. Now featuring end-to-end encryption, interactive safety tour mode, and enhanced connection stability
GhostChat lets you send messages to people nearby without Wi-Fi, cellular, or internet of any kind, just Bluetooth.
HOW IT WORKS
Every device running GhostChat automatically forms a mesh network with nearby devices. Messages hop from phone to phone, traveling up to 5 hops, so you can reach people even if they're not directly next to you.
PERFECT FOR
• Music festivals and concerts where cell networks are overloaded
• Hiking, camping, and backcountry adventures
• Emergency and disaster scenarios when infrastructure is down
• Events, conferences, or venues with poor connectivity
• Anyone who wants private, off-grid communication
PRIVACY FIRST
No accounts. No sign-ups. No cloud. Every message is stored only on your device and the recipient's device , nothing passes through a server. GhostChat never transmits your messages over the internet.
FEATURES
• Bluetooth mesh networking , messages relay through nearby devices automatically
• Broadcast messages to all nearby users, or send directly to a specific person
• Local message history with search and filtering
• Live peer dashboard showing who's nearby and their signal strength
• Lightweight onboarding , just pick a display name and go
• Works completely offline, even in airplane mode (with Bluetooth on)
OPEN & TRANSPARENT
GhostChat is intentionally simple. There's no analytics, no ad tracking, no account system, and no backend. What's on your device stays on your device.
No signal required. No strings attached.

Version 1.1 brings end-to-end encryption, next-generation Bluetooth mesh reliability, and streamlined safety controls:
• END-TO-END ENCRYPTION (E2EE):
Direct messages are now sealed with hardware-accelerated Apple CryptoKit cryptography (Curve25519 ECDH + ChaCha20-Poly1305). Look for the green lock badge verifying that only you and your recipient hold the keys—even as messages hop across nearby mesh relays.
• REBUILT BLUETOOTH MESH ENGINE:
Our packet framing and streaming architecture has been completely redesigned with dynamic MTU negotiation, adaptive frame reassembly, and automated link self-healing for faster, bulletproof off-grid communication.
• STREAMLINED 5-STEP ONBOARDING:
A modern, guided setup introducing Ghost Noir’s off-grid capabilities, transparent Bluetooth permission setup, and clear community safety standards.
• GRANULAR SAFETY & HARASSMENT CONTROLS:
Take full control over your off-grid interactions. Tap and hold any message to independently Report objectionable content or Block abusive senders to immediately sever node connections and purge message history.
• GHOST NOIR INTERACTIVE TOUR:
New to off-grid mesh? Launch the built-in interactive tour from the dashboard or Settings to experience a simulated mesh network, explore pre-chat consent cards, and test safety features in seconds.
• PERFORMANCE & UI REFINEMENTS:
Enjoy tailored haptic feedback, real-time typing indicators, large attachment size guardrails, and independent badge clearing for the public Mesh Lounge.
