SocialMesh is an offline-first companion for Meshtastic and LoRa mesh networks, built to observe, manage, and operate real mesh systems in the field. Requires a Meshtastic device - SocialMesh connects directly to Meshtastic radios over Bluetooth or USB and reflects what the mesh is actually doing: packets, hops, airtime, and decay. Core capabilities Mesh connectivity - Bluetooth and USB device support - Pairing, discovery, reconnect, and recovery flows - Multi-device environments supported Messaging - Direct messages and channel chat - Canned replies and quick message sheet - Traceroute and position requests Signals & presence - Short-lived broadcasts with TTL - Time-decayed presence feed - Map, grid, and gallery views - Sorting and filtering by proximity, activity, and expiry NodeDex - Collector Album - Every node you encounter becomes a collectible card with a unique sigil - Rarity tiers and patina that deepens with each encounter - Track co-sightings and build your mesh story Maps & Visualization - Local mesh map and global mesh map - 3D Globe — interactive world view of mesh activity - Proximity sorting and location links Aether - High-Altitude Tracking - Track Meshtastic nodes at 35,000 ft - LoRa signals can reach 400+ km at altitude - Schedule flights, report receptions, global leaderboard Device management - Region setup and onboarding - Radio, channel, and security configuration - Power, Bluetooth, and network controls Telemetry & diagnostics - Node health and metrics - Environmental sensors - Logs and exports Automation - Triggers, conditions, and rules - Alerts and integrations (including IFTTT) - Scheduled messages and location-based actions Dashboards & widgets - Customizable in-app widgets with live data bindings - Home screen widgets - Charts, gauges, and graphs for battery, telemetry, environment sensors Notifications - Granular, per-event notification controls Additional tools - Range testing - Geofence picker Cloud Sync (Optional Subscription) SocialMesh works fully offline. Cloud Sync is an optional monthly or yearly subscription that backs up your NodeDex, automations, custom widgets, and profile across all your devices. Without it, data stays on-device only. Premium Features (Optional) - Theme Pack: 12 accent colors - Ringtone Pack: searchable library of thousands of RTTTL ringtones - Automations: advanced rules and scheduled broadcasts - IFTTT Integration: connect to 700+ apps and services The app is device-centric and mesh-true: the UI mirrors real radio behavior rather than forcing binary "online/offline" states. Track node presence as confidence that naturally fades when packets stop arriving. Explore local and global mesh activity on live maps. Diagnose radios, manage channels, and automate responses - even when completely offline. Terms of Use: https://socialmesh.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://socialmesh.app/privacy
