It connects your phone directly to nearby phones using Bluetooth, creating a "mesh network" – like a chain of people passing messages to each other. Why Use Gap Mesh? - No internet needed – Chat when there's no Wi-Fi or mobile data - No phone number required – Stay anonymous - No accounts – Just install and start chatting - Private & secure – Your private messages are encrypted - Works anywhere – Protests, remote areas, emergencies, or just with friends nearby - Cross-compatible with Bitchat and the same back-end mesh apps - Emergency wipe and decoy mode with triple-tapping - Alternative icons - Live Activity support to see the connection status with a mesh network or geohash channel. Two Ways to Chat Gap Mesh offers two types of chat: Mesh Chat (Offline Mode) - Works without internet - Uses Bluetooth to connect with nearby devices - Messages hop from phone to phone (up to 7 hops) - Best for: Local groups, protests, emergencies, remote areas How to use: Just open the app and start chatting!

Salam. Nimroo is for everyone who came from Iran and lives somewhere else. PROFESSIONALS WHO SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE More than 1,300 doctors, lawyers, tax advisors, translators, trades, services and associations across almost 200 cities and 20 countries. Search by field, by distance, or for people who work online. Anyone who has tried to understand a diagnosis, a tenancy agreement or a letter from an authority in a language they are still learning knows why this matters. A FORUM WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY ASK You are visible only under your pseudonym, never your real name. Photos are stripped of location and device data on your own phone before they are uploaded. Residency, family, money, belonging — including the questions you do not ask at home. Answers stay findable instead of scrolling away in a group chat. NABZ — THE QUESTION OF THE DAY One question for everyone, every day. You vote, and if you like, you first guess how the majority will decide. You see the result as soon as you have voted; the guesses are revealed the next day. The questions are not the harmless kind: Is it a betrayal to be happy here? Does the diaspora make people more religious, or less? Anyone who wants to can carry on in the forum. PLACES AND EVENTS Persian grocers, restaurants, cafés and cultural associations — plus concerts, readings and Nowruz celebrations near you. THREE LANGUAGES, PROPERLY DONE English, فارسی and Deutsch, switchable at any time. Persian laid out right to left, not as an afterthought. WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DATA We do not sell data. You can permanently delete your account inside the app, without writing to anyone. Ads come from Google AdMob: if you decline tracking across apps, you get non-personalised ads and nothing else changes. MODERATED Every post is checked automatically before it goes live and can be reported with one tap. You can block other users; their posts disappear immediately. Insults, hate, spam and spreading other people's contact details have no place here. Disagreement does — just without contempt. Nimroo is free and funded by advertising. Note: Directory entries and forum posts are not a substitute for medical, legal or tax advice.
