iOS TestFlight Android APK GitHub

Why Blackrock GO

Built for playa realities: low bandwidth, dust, and zero infrastructure.

Map‑first UI

City map at launch, with friend nodes, camp channels, and time‑gated event overlays.

Direct BLE pairing

Pair over Bluetooth—no vendor app required. We speak the device protocol.

Camp channels & DMs

Encrypted channels (up to 8). The lowest non‑zero slot with location enabled gets live updates.

Mesh etiquette

“Everyone” stays public and location‑off by default. Trim payloads preserve airtime.

Scheduled events overlay

Preload an offline JSON schedule and show markers only during the active window.

QR join/share

Join camp channels with a link or QR.

FAQ

Do I need the official Meshtastic app?

Is my location public?

“Everyone” is location‑off by default. Live location follows the lowest non‑zero slot with location enabled.

Does this work offline?

Yes. Messaging runs over LoRa mesh; no cell or Wi‑Fi is required once paired.

Any Meshtastic‑compatible device (Heltec, LilyGO, TTGO, etc.).
