Beacon: Offline Chat

Beacon is an off-the-grid chat app for people around you. No internet required—it works great in crowded or remote areas when cellular reception is a challenge!

Works out of the box

Open the app, allow Bluetooth access, and you should connect to people nearby instantly.

Every person gets their own random colour—there is zero step for setup.

Send a message, and it is delivered to all those connected. You get delivery receipts when your message gets across.

Speakeasy code for when you need private space

Set up a 4-digit code so that your friends join the same chat. Each chat holds up to 8 people connected at the same time (as limited by Bluetooth technology).

For convenience only

Don't use this app as a backup communication tool in stress. Use it as convenience only.

Off-the-grid chat is not secure or private. Never expect anonymity.
