Messaging apps

A Windows or Linux PC joins the same nearby Bluetooth chat as the official bitchat phones. No account, no phone number, no installer. Send private messages, photos, and voice notes. It keeps running in the tray after closing the window. Independent and open source, not the official app.

Hi. I built witchat because the official bitchat apps cover iPhone, Mac, and Android, and a Windows or Linux computer still could not sit in that same nearby chat. It is an independent client, not the official app and not a Mac port. Unzip it and run it. No account and no installer. A PC can sit in #mesh with a phone, send a private message, and keep running from the tray after the window is closed. v0.1.0 is unsigned, so check the hash on the release before you run it. One lab showed two iPhones that could not hear each other reach each other through a Windows PC. That hop is not shown with Android yet. https://github.com/BarefootJoey/...

What if your computer could help keep a free messaging network alive?
