ZeroComm vs Nelos

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. No ads. Your location never goes to our servers: it is shared only with your team, over LoRa, when you choose. Built for families, hiking, camping, outdoor adventures, travel, volunteer teams, festivals, and other off-grid situations. COMPATIBLE HARDWARE Off-grid communication requires MeshCore-compatible LoRa hardware. Download maps before heading out. Location updates and message delivery depend on your devices, radio conditions, terrain, positioning availability, and permissions. Help requests go only to members of your teams, not to emergency services or to Nelos. Nelos should not be your only means of communication or safety in critical situations.
