Capabilities
Offline walkie talkie — a radio station in your pocket
The simplicity of a traditional walkie-talkie, rebuilt with modern tech — clear, stable, real-time voice whether you're online or completely off-grid.
Advanced push-to-talk
A responsive PTT button with customizable haptic feedback and crystal-clear, low-latency audio. One-handed optimized interface that keeps running in the background, with voice notifications even when the screen is off.
Direct connection, no internet
Secure encrypted peer-to-peer over Apple's native Multipeer Connectivity. Nearby devices are auto-discovered, with up to eight simultaneous connections, autonomous reconnection and continuous stability monitoring via a heartbeat mechanism.
Interactive sonar radar
A live radar shows everyone in range with an estimated distance and sonar-style sweep animations, so you always know who's nearby — perfect for hikes, events and keeping a team together off the grid.
Integrated global FM radio
Thousands of stations worldwide with preconfigured frequencies and realistic audio. M3U streaming, background playback and fast station switching with intelligent interruption management when a transmission comes in.
Smart notifications
Real-time alerts for new messages and connections, even when the screen is locked. Effective anti-spam keeps the noise down, and advanced permission management puts you in control of audio, Bluetooth and alerts.
AirPods, Bluetooth & localized
