SocialMesh

SocialMesh is an offline-first companion for Meshtastic and LoRa mesh networks, built to observe, manage, and operate real mesh systems in the field.

Requires a Meshtastic device - SocialMesh connects directly to Meshtastic radios over Bluetooth or USB and reflects what the mesh is actually doing: packets, hops, airtime, and decay.

Cloud Sync (Optional Subscription)
SocialMesh works fully offline. Cloud Sync is an optional monthly or yearly subscription that backs up your NodeDex, automations, custom widgets, and profile across all your devices. Without it, data stays on-device only.

Premium Features (Optional)
- Theme Pack: 12 accent colors
- Ringtone Pack: searchable library of thousands of RTTTL ringtones
- Automations: advanced rules and scheduled broadcasts
- IFTTT Integration: connect to 700+ apps and services

The app is device-centric and mesh-true: the UI mirrors real radio behavior rather than forcing binary "online/offline" states. Track node presence as confidence that naturally fades when packets stop arriving. Explore local and global mesh activity on live maps. Diagnose radios, manage channels, and automate responses - even when completely offline.
