NoNet Chat

NoNet Chat lets you talk to the people around you when the internet can't. No internet. No servers. No accounts. No phone numbers. Open the app, pick a nickname, and start chatting with everyone nearby — your messages travel directly between phones over Bluetooth and hop across other devices to reach farther. WHY NONET CHAT • Works where networks fail: flights, festivals, deserts, camping, crowded events, emergencies • Nothing to sign up for: no account, no SIM, no data plan — it even works in Airplane Mode with Bluetooth on • Private by design: the app never touches the internet, so there is nothing to collect FEATURES • Nearby Chat: a public room with everyone around you • Private messages: end-to-end encrypted (X25519 + AES-256-GCM) • Voice notes: record and send over the mesh • Delivery ticks: see when your private messages arrive • Store & forward: messages wait for people who are out of range and deliver when they return • Mesh relay: phones in between quietly extend everyone's range, up to 7 hops • Notifications when messages arrive in the background • Full Arabic and English, light and dark appearance NONET PRO (optional one-time purchase — no subscriptions) • Alternate app icons and chat bubble colors • Export any conversation as text The chat itself is free forever: more people on the mesh makes it better for everyone. PRIVACY NoNet Chat collects nothing. Messages are stored only on your device, and your encryption keys never leave it. Read the privacy policy for the plain-language details. Requires Bluetooth. Range depends on surroundings — typically 10–50 meters per hop, extended by relays.
