Applications To Make Your MeshCore More

  • Note: descriptions of these projects were taken from the respective project websites

MeshMapper​

MeshMapper MeshMapper visualizes real-world MeshCore coverage using data collected by local mesh operators. Gathered data from Observers both static and via "wardriving", the project is great for visualizing node coverage if your area has been onboarded.

As of August 2026, the following 'zones' have been onboarded and have activity:

MeshCore Analyzer​

MeshCore Analyzer is a real-time packet and reliability analysis tool for the MeshCore network aimed at helping repeater owners (MeshCore network operators) improve the reliability, monitor for abuse or bugs, ensure uptime, and optimize the mesh network for everyone's benefit. Packet data is collected by observers (MQTT-connected nodes) and ingested into the service for realtime analysis, enabling the website to "hear" and visualize the network from many perspectives.

MapMe​

MapMe is another Mesh-mapping software that visualizes where your MeshCore network actually works. Connect your device via Bluetooth, enable mapping, and as you move around it automatically logs which hexes have coverage based on packets you receive.

CoreScope​

CoreScope is a Self-hosted, open-source MeshCore packet analyzer. Collects MeshCore packets via MQTT, decodes them in real time, and presents a full web UI with live packet feed, interactive maps, channel chat, packet tracing, and per-node analytics. Perfect for those with a homelab server, or even a spare RPI sitting around and want to put it to work.

MeshCore Client Apps​

You can find all of the links to the official apps on the MeshCore website.

MeshCore Hardened​

MeshCore Hardened is an independent, open-source MeshCore client for Android. It needs no Google Play Services and nothing phones home: no analytics, accounts, or servers. Messages are encrypted on the phone as well as on the air. It connects over Bluetooth, USB-C, or TCP and covers direct messages, channels, a node map, repeater administration, and firmware updates for nRF52 boards over Bluetooth. It can also show the route a message actually took across the mesh, hop by hop.

It can join a mesh by scanning a settings QR code. See Quick Setup by QR for Michigan's. Install it through Obtainium for automatic updates, or grab the APK from the latest release. Needs Android 8.0 or later; AGPL-3.0.

MeshCore One​

MeshCore One is a third-party client for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs. It is not the official app, and it is open source under the GPLv3. Alongside the usual messages, channels, and QR contact sharing, it leans into diagnostics: trace path, line of sight analysis, RX logging, and remote management of repeaters and room servers. Free on the App Store, needs iOS 18 or later; source and sideload builds are on GitHub.

MeshCore Open​

MeshCore Open is an unofficial, MIT-licensed Flutter app for MeshCore — the open LoRa mesh radio protocol. Pairs to your node over BLE, USB, or TCP from Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, or web. No internet, no cell service, no accounts. Available of iOS devices via MeshCore Open TestFligh, and Android Google Play.
