CruiseMesh

Cruise ships are where phones go quiet. No bars at sea, Wi-Fi packages that cost more than the excursions, and a family scattered across twelve decks. CruiseMesh keeps you texting anyway. CruiseMesh sends messages phone-to-phone over Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi — no cell service, no internet, and no account. When the kids are at the pool and you're on deck 8, messages find their way. If someone is out of range, other CruiseMesh phones quietly carry the message along until it arrives. HOW IT WORKS • Nearby: messages travel directly over Bluetooth or the ship's Wi-Fi — even when that Wi-Fi has no internet. • Farther away: messages hop between CruiseMesh phones until they reach your family. • Back online: an optional family mailbox syncs everything over the internet whenever anyone gets signal. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • End-to-end encrypted — even phones that help carry a message can't read it. • No account, no phone number, no email. Your identity lives on your phone. • No ads, no tracking, no data collection. MADE FOR FAMILIES • Add family by scanning a QR code — done in seconds. • Group chats for the whole crew. • Photos and voice memos, sized for the mesh. • See at a glance who's reachable right now. • Block and report controls built in. Works on planes, trains, campgrounds, festivals, and anywhere else the signal dies. Bring the family group chat with you. CruiseMesh is open source.
