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.

Diagnose radios, manage channels, and automate responses - even when completely offline. Terms of Use: https://socialmesh.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://socialmesh.app/privacy
