Beacon is an off-the-grid chat app for people around you. No internet required—it works great in crowded or remote areas when cellular reception is a challenge!
## Works out of the box ##
Open the app, allow Bluetooth access, and you should connect to people nearby instantly.
Every person gets their own random colour—there is zero step for setup.
Send a message, and it is delivered to all those connected. You get delivery receipts when your message gets across.
## Speakeasy code for when you need private space ##
Set up a 4-digit code so that your friends join the same chat. Each chat holds up to 8 people connected at the same time (as limited by Bluetooth technology).
## For convenience only ##
Don't use this app as a backup communication tool in stress. Use it as convenience only.
Off-the-grid chat is not secure or private. Never expect anonymity.
