About

Meshtastic is an open-source, off-grid mesh networking project that lets you send messages and view node locations over long distances without cellular service or the internet, using inexpensive LoRa radio hardware.

Features include:

  • Text messaging between nodes on the mesh network
  • Encrypted channels for private group communication
  • Node management and device configuration
  • Works entirely offline — no internet required

Connect to your Meshtastic device over Bluetooth, USB serial, or Wi-Fi.

Permissions

2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

    --socket=x11
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • network
    --share=network
