Description
Coordinate the Chaos.
Flaresat gives your group a single, shared live map. Drop pins, trace routes, track locations, and chat in real-time.
It works everywhere:
Online: Cloud-synced instantly over 4G/5G/WiFi.
Off-Grid: Pair with a Meshtastic radio to chat and track users over LoRa mesh without cell service or internet.
STOP ASKING "WHERE ARE YOU?"
Live Presence: See everyone’s location moving in real-time.
Map-Based Chat: Talk while you navigate. Your messages overlay the map so you never lose context.
Smart Pins: Mark the meetup spot, the tent, or the hidden trail. Every pin includes notes and navigation.
POWERFUL PLANNING TOOLS
Draw on the Map: Circle danger zones or draw the path for the group to follow.
Breadcrumbs: Record your path so others can retrace your steps.
Quick Navigation: One tap on any friend or pin to get walking directions.
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Festivals: Find your friends in the crowd.
Off-Roading & Hiking: Stay connected in the backcountry (requires Meshtastic hardware).
Family Trips: Keep the convoy together on the highway.
Search & Rescue: Coordinate grids and track team coverage.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your location is only shared with the groups you create. You are in control.
Download Flaresat and start mapping together.
Nouveautés (v1.4.3)
Summer 2026 Update, Biggest release yet.
MeshCore Support
Flaresat now works with both Meshtastic and MeshCore LoRa firmware. Pins, routes, areas, text chat, and live location all work over either mesh. Select your firmware in Device Controls before scanning.
Off-Grid is now Radio
We renamed off-grid mode to Radio throughout the app, same map, same chat, zero internet. All your existing Radio groups are untouched.
Organizations
Nest multiple groups under a single workspace with Admin and Member roles, invite codes, and full member management.
Geofence Alert Zones
Draw any boundary on the map and get a push notification the instant someone crosses it. Choose entry, exit, or both per zone. Works in the background and over the Radio mesh without internet.
Background Live Share
Tap LIVE and choose a duration, 15 min, 1 hour, or 8 hours. Your location broadcasts even with the app in the background or screen locked. A system indicator keeps you in control.
QR Codes & Invite Links
Every group has a scannable QR code in Group Settings. Radio groups now have a shareable invite link too, send a tap-to-join URL even when someone isn't next to you.
In-App Announcement Inbox
A bell icon on the home screen shows release notes, tips, and updates without leaving the app. Unread announcements show a badge.
Radio Delivery Status
Every outgoing Radio message shows a delivery indicator, Pending, Sent, or Failed. If a map item fails, the create sheet stays open so you can retry.
