IntelligenceMesh is an offline-first emergency companion built for the moments when infrastructure fails. Everything runs on your phone: no cloud login, no signal required, no data leaves the device unless you send it. On-device AI assistant Ask questions by voice or text. A small language model runs locally on your phone and answers with grounding pulled from verified emergency knowledge packs — first-aid, water safety, shelter guidance, disaster prep, kids' safety, and more. Every answer cites the source you can tap open. Offline knowledge packs Download curated guides from trusted authorities (CPR, Stop the Bleed, hypothermia, dehydration, evacuation, mechanical, medications, farm, legal, and more) before you need them. Every guide has a verifiable source URL so you can trust what the app is telling you. Offline maps + resources Cache tiles for your region and browse nearby shelters, hospitals, fire stations, police, pharmacies, water sources, food banks, fuel, and repair shops — sourced from OpenStreetMap and refreshed when you have signal. Deep-link straight to Maps or a tap-to-call. Live alerts, region-aware Pulls weather and disaster alerts from authoritative sources for your location (NWS in the US, MeteoAlarm across Europe, IMD in India, ECCC in Canada, PAGASA in the Philippines, INMET in Brazil, JMA in Japan, state services in Australia, GDACS worldwide). Only the providers relevant to where you are will run. SOS broadcast over the mesh Hold to send an emergency signal across a peer-to-peer mesh of other IntelligenceMesh users and paired hardware nodes — no cell tower needed. Includes your last-known location if available. Optional stick pairing Pair an IntelligenceMesh hardware stick over Bluetooth to add a physical button for voice asks, an on-body SOS button, and a low-power display for critical info even when your phone is off or dead. Privacy by design No email, phone, or location required to use core features. On-device encryption. No third-party trackers. Optional analytics can be turned off in Settings.

Read full description

The device you need can be broadcasting nearby under a name you do not recognize. Start a scan where you expect it, filter and sort the live devices, then watch its Signal (RSSI) respond as you move. The active list refreshes every half-second with available names, inferred types, manufacturers, and RSSI. A device disappears after 12 seconds without another broadcast, so the list stays centered on the radio environment right now instead of becoming a permanent packet record. Pick one identifier and the radar smooths RSSI into three practical proximity bands: very close, close, and far. If the same identifier is not detected for five seconds, it reports signal lost rather than claiming a direction it never measured. When a peripheral accepts a connection, Services & characteristics shows the GATT structure it actually exposes. Values actually read from characteristics that report read support appear as hexadecimal bytes with printable ASCII when appropriate. Notifications from characteristics that report notify or indicate support can be monitored when the peripheral delivers them. Opening a device from the live list attempts to add or update it in a local list for renaming, revisiting, or deletion; each successful write keeps the 200 most recent records. Scanning is limited to current BLE broadcasts while the app is in the foreground and Bluetooth is powered and authorized. RSSI provides rough proximity guidance, not compass direction, GPS location, or calibrated distance. GATT inspection depends on a compatible, connectable peripheral and is not classic Bluetooth pairing or universal control for every product. Scan history, device naming and revisiting past discoveries are available without upgrading. Deep GATT inspection and radar finding each include one complimentary use. Advanced actions such as writing GATT characteristics and exporting CSV can be unlocked with a subscription.
