NearVox

Voice-connect your group without internet, cell service, or accounts. One person starts, everyone else scans a QR code. That's it.

NearVox connects people nearby by voice, completely without internet, without a mobile network and without any sign-up. Whether you are in a dead zone in the mountains, on a construction site with no reception or simply out and about: when your phone network goes silent, you keep talking.

How it works: One person starts a group, and their phone opens its own Wi-Fi hotspot. Everyone else scans a QR code and is instantly in. No setup, no phone numbers, no accounts. Designed for every age: large text, clear buttons, nothing you can do wrong.

Perfect for: • Bike rides, hiking and skiing • Convoys and carpools • Construction sites, halls and events • Anywhere the mobile network lets you down

Features: • Hands-free talking for the whole group. Everyone can speak at once, just like a phone call • Works fully offline over the phone's own Wi-Fi hotspot • Join via QR code, connected in seconds • Automatic host handover: if the starting phone drops out, another device takes over seamlessly and the group keeps running • Automatic reconnection after a brief dead zone, no need to scan again • A real signal indicator so you can see when the connection is getting weaker • Battery warning by voice announcement • Bluetooth headsets and helmet microphones are supported

Privacy by conviction: NearVox collects no data. There are no accounts, no real names, no ads and no tracking. Conversations go directly from device to device and are never stored or sent to a server.

Pricing: Groups of two are free forever. For larger groups of three or more, a one-time Pro purchase unlocks all seats. No subscription.
