BUILT ON APPLE NETWORKING • Peer-to-peer wireless • Standard IPv4 networking for apps you already use • Optional Mesh Drop Box for session-based file sharing between connected peers Privacy-minded by design: traffic stays between your nearby devices. No account required to start a local mesh.* * Purchases and premium features may use App Store billing. Internet is only needed for optional upgrades, not for local mesh networking.
