ZeroComm vs Nelos

ZeroComm is a simple, fully offline iOS client for Meshtastic LoRa mesh networks. Built for anyone — when cellular and WiFi are gone and your neighbors are scattered about the block, use LoRa mesh.

FEATURES — Bluetooth connect to any Meshtastic node — Group channels and direct messaging with delivery confirmation — Offline maps with node positions, waypoint management and sharing — KML export compatible with Organic Maps — Background operation with notifications and unread badge — Message and waypoint history with CSV export GETTING STARTED Requires Meshtastic-compatible LoRa hardware (e.g. Heltec V4).

PRIVACY-FOCUSED No account required. No central message server. Built for families, hiking, outdoor adventures, travel, volunteer teams, and off-grid situations. COMPATIBLE HARDWARE REQUIRED Off-grid communication requires MeshCore-compatible LoRa hardware. Download maps before heading out. Tracking and message delivery depend on your devices, radio conditions, terrain, and permissions. Help requests go to your teams, not emergency services. Nelos should not be your only means of communication or safety in critical situations.
