OffGrid Messenger

OffGrid Messenger sends messages device-to-device over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi — no cell signal, no WiFi network, and no internet connection required. Once two devices have paired, messages go straight between them. MADE FOR WHEN YOU CAN'T GET SEATS TOGETHER Airlines can't always seat families next to each other, and phones have to go in airplane mode. The FAA allows Bluetooth and WiFi to stay on above 10,000 ft — OffGrid Messenger uses exactly that to let your family message row to row, gate to gate, without needing the plane's WiFi or a signal of any kind. Set it up on everyone's device before you leave; it works from the moment you're all in range, with zero setup required at the other end. It's just as useful anywhere else a signal doesn't reach: campsites, cruise ships, basements, subways, festivals, or any place your group is close by but disconnected. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-up, no phone number — ever. - No servers. Messages never leave your devices except over the direct local connection between them. - Every contact is verified before you can chat with them, by scanning their QR code in person — so you know exactly who you're talking to. - Choose how visible you are to nearby devices: open to everyone nearby, limited to people you've already verified, or fully invisible until you scan someone in. BUILT FOR GROUPS, NOT JUST PAIRS - One-to-one and group chats, with per-message delivery status so you know what got through. - Share photos alongside text. - Messages queue automatically when a device drifts out of range and deliver the moment it's back. SOMETHING TO DO TOGETHER, NOT JUST SOMETHING TO SEND Once you've verified a contact, play a quick game right in the chat — Connect Four, Dots and Boxes, or Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. Each one shows the rules right under the board, so nobody has to already know how to play. No accounts and no internet needed, just like the rest of the app. A simple way to pass the time with family and friends when you're sitting nearby but disconnected — on a long flight, at a campsite, or anywhere else a signal can't reach. HOW IT WORKS OffGrid Messenger uses your device's Bluetooth and local WiFi radios to find and talk to other nearby devices running the app — the same technology behind AirDrop, without needing an internet connection on either end. Range depends on the environment, typically similar to Bluetooth/WiFi range (tens of meters, less through walls or in a crowded cabin). ONE-TIME PURCHASE Try OffGrid Messenger free for 72 hours.
