Secure Decentralized Communication
An open-source messaging app designed for secure, decentralized communication that works without internet connectivity.
Beyond Traditional Messaging
Unlike traditional apps like WhatsApp or Signal, BitChat doesn’t rely on internet servers. Instead, it uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to create a mesh network, allowing devices to relay messages to one another directly.
