MeshCrossway for Android · Public beta

Two mesh networks.
One Android app.

Use Meshtastic and MeshCore side by side from the phone you carry. Connect to each network through its own Bluetooth radio; messages and network identities stay separate.

Download Android 0.2.5 beta APKInstallation and requirementsRelease notes

Beta for testing — not version 1.0.0. Android 8.0+ on ARM64. Install over the existing 0.2.4 app to retain local data.

Made for the field

Keep both networks in view.

MeshCrossway puts the tools for two independent mesh radios into one Android interface.

01 · MESSAGING

Chats, channels and nodes

Read and send messages on Meshtastic and MeshCore, with each conversation clearly tied to its own network.

02 · MAPS

Maps and field tools

See network nodes, record tracks, save points of interest, export GPX files and manage downloaded offline map areas.

03 · BLUETOOTH

Measured radio-link signal

See Bluetooth signal strength between your phone and each radio. This is the BLE connection signal, not the LoRa network signal.

Get started

Install the beta in a few steps.

  1. Download the APK on an ARM64 Android phone running Android 8.0 or newer.
  2. Open the file and allow your browser or file manager to install apps when Android asks.
  3. In MeshCrossway, connect one compatible Meshtastic radio and one compatible MeshCore radio over Bluetooth.

Updating: Install 0.2.5 over 0.2.4 to preserve app data. Builds 0.2.2 and earlier used temporary signing certificates; read the one-time migration guide before switching from those builds. Do not uninstall to update.

A beta you can help improve

Test it with your radios.

Compatibility with more Android phones, radio models and firmware versions is still being evaluated. The Bluetooth signal indicator measures the phone-to-radio link, not LoRa reception. Android Remote Access is optional, off by default and intended for a private local network.

Report reproducible problems on GitHub Issues and include your phone, radio models and firmware versions.

The embedded touchscreen controller remains a secondary project; its hardware, firmware, roadmap and Web Flasher are grouped in the ESP32 project area.
