Email meshfest@proton.me and we'll get back to you, usually within a day. Include your iPhone model and iOS version if something isn't working.
Open Meshfest with internet, tap Add festival, and search by name or city. The lineup, map and artist photos are saved on your phone and work with no signal. When you have signal again, the app checks for updates.
Go to People → My card and let a friend scan your QR code, or send them your Meshfest link. Scanning in person is the most trusted way to add someone.
In Chat, tap New crew, pick friends and give it a name. Choose one person and no name for a one-to-one chat.
Yes. Messages travel between phones running Meshfest. The more people nearby have it, the farther messages reach.
Bluetooth reaches roughly 30 to 100 meters between two phones, depending on the crowd and obstacles. Each phone in between can pass a message on, so it can cover a whole site. If nobody is in range, your phone keeps the message and retries until it gets through.
Keep Meshfest open with Bluetooth on. Your phone resends every 30 seconds, and other phones carry messages closer. On iPhone, Bluetooth must be on in Control Center and in Settings → Meshfest.
Crew messages are encrypted for each member; phones that relay them can't read them. Messages and contacts are stored only on your phone. See the privacy policy.
Each alert is signed by the festival. Meshfest only shows alerts with a valid signature, even when they reach you secondhand from another phone.
Use Erase everything in the app, or delete the app. We don't keep a copy of your messages or contacts.
Not yet. Meshfest is iPhone-only for now.
