THE IDEA BEHIND MESHCHAT
A network made
of people.
MeshChat is the brand behind ChatABit, a peer-to-peer mesh messaging app. We build tools for more independent communication, starting with nearby connections and private conversations.
Keep conversations personal.
Build around private communication, with clear explanations of what is protected and where the limits are.
Make more of a connection.
In a mesh, participating devices can help messages travel. Each connection becomes part of something shared.
