MeshFest · Decentralized Chat
The network
is you.
When cell service fails, MeshFest lets nearby iPhones pass encrypted messages to each other, building a network from the crowd itself. No servers, no surveillance, no datacenter.
How it works
01
Create a group
Share the group's QR code with your crew before the event.
02
The mesh forms
Nearby phones running MeshFest pass messages along, helping them reach friends beyond direct range.
03
Stay connected
Send messages and SOS alerts to your group, even with zero bars and no Wi-Fi.
Built for
Festivals
50,000 people, saturated towers. Keep your group talking when the cell network can't keep up.
Disasters
Hurricanes, outages, infrastructure failures. MeshFest needs no towers or internet, only other MeshFest phones nearby.
Large events
Stadiums, concerts, marathons. A crowd running MeshFest becomes its own communication network.
Off-grid
Camping, remote areas, travel. Message your group nearby without a SIM card or roaming.
