About
Stay connected beyond cell coverage.
Nelos is an offline messaging, location sharing, and tracking app for families and small teams using MeshCore-compatible LoRa radios. Message your team, see everyone on a map, find trackers, and coordinate even when cell service or internet isn’t available.
No radio yet? Offline maps, location history, and personal waypoints work right away. Connect a MeshCore-compatible radio to unlock messaging, teams, trackers, and help requests.
STAY TOGETHER OFF-GRID

MORE WITH NELOS PRO
Unlock multiple active teams, unlimited trackers per team, unlimited offline maps, GPX route import and saving, and up to 90 days of location history with a one-time lifetime purchase.
PRIVACY-FOCUSED
No account required. No central message server. No ads. Your location never goes to our servers: it is shared only with your team, over LoRa, when you choose.
Built for families, hiking, camping, outdoor adventures, travel, volunteer teams, festivals, and other off-grid situations.
COMPATIBLE HARDWARE
Off-grid communication requires MeshCore-compatible LoRa hardware. Download maps before heading out.
Location updates and message delivery depend on your devices, radio conditions, terrain, positioning availability, and permissions.
Help requests go only to members of your teams, not to emergency services or to Nelos. Nelos should not be your only means of communication or safety in critical situations.

What's New in Nelos
2.7.3
November 5, 2026
• Open a .gpx file with Nelos from any app to see the route on the offline map. Importing and saving routes is part of Nelos Pro. • Need Help asks "Do you still need help?" after 30 minutes, then every hour. • Steadier in the background: Need Help uses less airtime, and iPhone reconnects to the radio when it's back in range. • Day separators in chat, a trip name on shared images, and other fixes.
