## What is No Bars Given?

The towers go down at every festival. Your crew doesn't have to.

No Bars Given connects phones directly to each other over Bluetooth - no cell service, no Wi-Fi, no accounts, no servers. Chat with people nearby, watch your crew move on a live map, and raise your phone to see their totems floating in AR over the crowd.

WORKS WITH ZERO BARS
Every phone running the app relays for every other one, so your messages hop across the crowd even when nobody has signal.

SEE YOUR CREW, NOT STRANGERS
Location is shared only with the crew you invite, encrypted end to end. Nobody else can read it - including us. There is no server to read it.

BUILD YOUR TOTEM
Pick a topper, a pole, and a flair. It travels as two bytes over the mesh and rises above the crowd in AR so your friends can find you.

PARTY UP IN A SECOND
Scan a friend's code or knock your phones together. No usernames to exchange, no requests to accept later.

NO ACCOUNT, EVER
Open the app and you're in. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into, nothing about you stored on anyone's server.

Bluetooth mesh needs at least two devices nearby to shine - grab a friend and go.
