MANET

MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) is a completely offline, decentralized messaging app that lets you chat with nearby friends without needing internet, Wi-Fi routers, or cell service.

By using your phone's built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct, MANET connects directly to other phones around you to form a "mesh network."

HOW IT WORKS: Unlike traditional chat apps that send your messages to a cloud server, MANET routes your messages directly from phone to phone. If the person you want to text is too far away for a direct connection, the app will automatically "multi-hop" your message through other nearby phones running the app until it reaches its destination!

KEY FEATURES: • 100% Offline: No mobile data, no SIM card, and no internet required. • Multi-Hop Routing: Reach friends who are far away by bouncing messages through intermediate phones. • Self-Healing Mesh: If someone walks away and a link breaks, the app automatically finds a new path for your messages. • Private & Decentralized: No accounts to create, no servers storing your data. • Auto-Discovery: Simply open the app and instantly see who is in range to chat.

Perfect for hiking, festivals, crowded stadiums, cruises, or anytime you lose cell service but need to stay in touch with your group!
