BeeChat: Offline Messenger

BeeChat keeps you in touch with your people when there is no signal. Your messages travel over Bluetooth, hopping from phone to phone like bees in a hive, until they reach the person you're writing to. No cell service, no Wi-Fi, no servers. BUILT FOR THE MOMENTS NETWORKS FAIL • Camping, hiking and mountain trips • Festivals, concerts and stadiums where the network is jammed • Earthquakes, blackouts and other emergencies NO ACCOUNT, NO PHONE NUMBER Pick a nickname and you're ready. Your identity is a key created on your phone. It is never stored on any server. ADD FRIENDS BY QR Scan each other's code in person, or share your contact code when you're apart. Contacts added face to face are verified automatically. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED Only you and the person you're talking to can read your messages. Phones in between carry encrypted packets but can't open them. Compare your safety number in person to make sure no one is in between. THE HIVE Every phone running BeeChat can relay messages for others. The more people nearby, the farther your messages travel. If someone is out of range, your message waits in line and is delivered when they come back. ONE-TAP STATUS Let your contacts know how you are with a single tap: "I'm OK", "Need help" or "Injured". Your status goes to all your contacts, encrypted. GOOD TO KNOW • Bluetooth range between two phones is roughly 30–50 meters. Range grows as more BeeChat users are around. • Your friends need BeeChat too. Install it together before your trip. • Available in English and Turkish.
