An open client for an open protocol.
MeshCore is the open LoRa mesh protocol and firmware — the radios are MeshCore, the routing is MeshCore, the encryption is MeshCore. MeshCore Open is a separate, unofficial Flutter app for talking to those nodes. The goal is straightforward: an account-free, account-portable messenger that keeps working when the internet doesn't — the same idea, on every device you might actually carry. The project is in active alpha; features land in numbered Alpha releases on GitHub.
License
All app code is MIT licensed. You can fork it, audit it, and ship your own client — the protocol stays compatible.
Status
First Alpha shipped on 2026-01-01; the project has cut a numbered Alpha release roughly every few weeks since. Over-the-air firmware updates via BLE are on the roadmap; iOS USB and TCP companion paths are still in progress (BLE works today). Pull requests are welcome — translations, hardware fixes, and UX papercuts especially.
Donations
Optional. The app is fully usable without donating.
