MeshRoute turns nearby Apple devices into a private local network β€” no router, no hotspot, no internet required. Whether you’re gaming with friends, moving files across devices, or networking in a place with no Wi‑Fi, MeshRoute brings every Apple device onto one shared LAN using Apple’s peer-to-peer wireless technology (the same protocol used by AirDrop). WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Host or join a nearby MeshRoute network in seconds β€’ Get a real local IP on every device β€” apps that work on a normal LAN just work β€’ Play local multiplayer games without a shared Wi‑Fi network β€’ Share files with Mesh Drop Box while you’re connected to the same mesh HOW IT FEELS Open MeshRoute, host a network, and let nearby devicces scan and join. Each device gets an address on your private subnet. From there, ping, play, stream locally, or transfer files, all over a direct device-to-device link. BUILT ON APPLE NETWORKING β€’ Peer-to-peer wireless β€’ Standard IPv4 networking for apps you already use β€’ Optional Mesh Drop Box for session-based file sharing between connected peers Privacy-minded by design: traffic stays between your nearby devices. No account required to start a local mesh.* * Purchases and premium features may use App Store billing. Internet is only needed for optional upgrades, not for local mesh networking. Privacy Policy: https://meshroute.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Note: MeshRoute is a local device-to-device network, not a VPN service. It doesn't route internet traffic, hide your IP, or change your location. There are no servers, relays, or proxies, your data stays directly between your nearby devices. MeshRoute does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data.

Choose which city you come out of, and decide what your devices can reach. PICK A CITY Come out in Tampa, Detroit, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Helsinki or Jeddah. Switch whenever you like, as often as you like. Adding a city takes one tap. BLOCK WHAT YOU CHOOSE Turn off ads and trackers, adult sites, malware and scams, gambling, or social media. Add any site by name. Changes take effect straight away, with nothing to reinstall. FOCUS: MAKE IT STICK For staying away from porn, gambling or endless scrolling. Tightening is instant; loosening waits 24 hours and can be cancelled, so a weak moment can't undo your decision. With a day count, a small social media allowance you open when you choose, and an "I need a moment" button for when an urge hits. BUILT FOR A HOUSEHOLD Give one phone different rules from another. Turn on safe search so results stay clean. Set quiet hours for school nights, and pause everything when someone needs a break. SEE THAT IT IS WORKING Each device shows whether it is connected and how much has been blocked. You see the count, not a list of what anyone visited. YOUR KEY IS MADE ON YOUR DEVICE The key that identifies this phone is created here and never sent to us, so we could not hand it to anyone else. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERY DEVICE Sign in with a passkey and Face ID, or a link in your email. No password to remember. The same account works on the web. Peeryn is a subscription that starts with a free trial for new subscribers. Choose how many devices you want to cover and change or cancel it whenever you like.
