PlaneChat: Offline Messenger

Message people nearby with no internet, no cell service and no account. Perfect for flights, festivals, camping and anywhere the network is down.

PlaneChat lets you message people near you without internet, cell service, accounts or servers. Phones connect directly to each other over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity, so it keeps working on planes, at festivals, while camping or anywhere the network is down.

CHAT YOUR WAY • One-to-one and group chats • Text, photos from your library or camera, voice messages, files and polls • Replies (also by swiping a message), reactions, edits, forwarding and pinned messages • Delete a message for everyone • Delivery and read receipts

BUILT FOR LOSING CONNECTION • Offline queue: messages to someone out of range wait on your device and are delivered automatically when you meet again • Auto-reconnect: people you have chatted with reconnect without a new invite when they come back in range (you can turn this off) • Stable identity per install, so two people with the same name never get mixed up

GROUPS • Groups with an admin • Add or remove members, rename, add a description, leave

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no phone number, no servers • Face ID app lock and per-chat lock • Hide message previews, control your visibility and block people • Back up your chats to a file and restore them later, or delete all data at any time • PlaneChat does not collect any data

MADE FOR EVERYONE • Light and dark mode • Dynamic Type friendly layouts and VoiceOver labels • Available in English and Turkish

Notes: Both phones must be within range of each other, and messages are not relayed through other devices. iOS may suspend apps in the background, which can disconnect a nearby session after a while; queued messages are delivered the next time you connect. Attachments are limited to 15 MB.
