Noghteha - Mesh Messenger for Android

Brief description

Noghteha is a private, offline messaging tool that uses Bluetooth mesh networking to let people communicate without internet access. It’s built for situations where connectivity is unreliable — for example protests, outdoor gatherings, or emergencies — and keeps messages flowing by relaying them through nearby devices.

How the mesh network works

• Devices form a local Bluetooth mesh so messages can hop from one phone to another.
• Typical relay distance for each hop ranges roughly between 10 and 100 meters, depending on environment and device hardware.
• Because messages can travel through multiple nearby devices, conversations can continue even when no cellular or Wi‑Fi link is available.

Privacy and security features

• Messages are protected with end-to-end encryption so only intended recipients can read them.
• The app removes the need to register with a phone number or email address, reducing personally identifying requirements.
• No user data is collected or stored on servers, keeping user footprints minimal.

Core functions and presentation

• Standard chat capabilities including written messages, voice recordings, and file transfer.
• Full support for Persian (Farsi) language and a clean, attractive user interface designed for clarity and ease of use.
• An optional online connectivity mode is available via the Nostr protocol for users who want to broadcast or reach people beyond the local mesh.

Typical use cases

• Crowd events such as festivals or demonstrations where mobile networks may be congested.
• Natural disasters or other emergencies when conventional infrastructure is unavailable.
• Any situation where offline, private communication is preferable.

Recommended alternative

• OmeTV — free option available for users seeking a different approach to social interaction.
