Nicechat Mesh

No signal? Keep talking.

Nicechat Mesh lets you chat with people around you, even with no internet and no cell signal. Messages hop from phone to phone over Bluetooth, so a crowd becomes its own network: at festivals, on campus, at stadiums, on the trail, or anywhere the signal drops.

No account. No phone number.
Open the app and start chatting. We make you a name and a look, and your identity lives only on your phone. There is nothing to sign up for.

Chat with people nearby
• See who's around and join the nearby chat.
• Messages hop through other phones to reach people further away.
• Start a channel for your crew or event, open or with a password.

Private chats stay private
• Private messages are end-to-end encrypted.
• Add friends from the people nearby, or by scanning their code in person.
• Friend out of reach? Your message waits for up to 24 hours and goes out when they're nearby or online. People nearby may carry it, still encrypted.
• Send photos and voice messages to friends nearby.

Talk like a walkie-talkie
Hold the mic and people nearby hear you live. No signal needed.

Groups for your crew
Private groups for up to 16 friends: plan the meetup, share the tent number, find each other after the show.

Peer SOS
Tap SOS to alert everyone nearby and your friends. People nearby see your rough area (about 100 m). Friends see exactly where you are. You have 5 seconds to cancel, and the alert repeats every minute until you turn it off.
SOS is a peer alert only. It does not contact emergency services and may not reach anyone. If you can, call your local emergency number.

Find your friends
Share your live location with a friend for a set time. It stops on its own. No internet? A compass shows how far away they are and which way to go.

Chats around you
When you're online, join the public chat for your block, neighborhood or city and read local notices. You get a separate name tag in each place.

Privacy built in
• We never collect your messages or your location.
• Internet features connect through Tor by default.
• Privacy mode hides message text in notifications, makes messages disappear and pauses analytics.
• Erase everything on your phone at any time.

Nicechat Mesh is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino and Malay.

Bluetooth chats only reach people within range of the mesh. How far messages travel depends on how many phones are nearby.
