01
Pair a radio
Any Meshtastic-compatible LoRa radio connects over Bluetooth. The app handles pairing, radio settings, the node list and telemetry.
Feature
See your group.
Anywhere.
Each rider pairs a Meshtastic LoRa radio, and the whole group stays on the map with positions, chat and SOS over radio. When cell comes back, the internet takes over without you noticing.

How it works
02
Start a group activity
Invite friends, share a QR code or a join link, and add stops. Positions, quick chat and group traces come together whether they arrive by internet or by mesh.
03
Call for help if you need it
SOS goes to your group, your friends or anyone nearby, over the mesh when there is no signal. Responders see your position and tell you they are on the way.
Sources / What it does not do
Sources
- Mesh: Meshtastic radios over LoRa. Positions are broadcast every 30 seconds.
- Live location: merged from the internet and the mesh, whichever is reaching you.
- Friends, follows, QR invites, contact matching and nearby users through Aventerra's own service.
What it does not do
- Mesh is mobile only. The web app has no mesh, SOS or live location.
- Mesh chat is end-to-end encrypted with rotating group keys. Internet chat is not encrypted.
- Mesh positions are standard Meshtastic packets, protected only by the channel key.
- SOS reaches other app users, not emergency services. For a life-threatening emergency, use 911 or a dedicated satellite communicator.
- The out-of-range alert is an early heads-up with a distance per activity, not a rescue system.
- The mesh carries positions, text and alerts. It does not carry photos or voice notes.
Works on
- Phone
- Watch
- Web: Not available
Frequently asked
Do I need special hardware?
No. Aventerra works fully as a standalone app. For the offline mesh safety features (group tracking without cell signal), each member of the group needs a Meshtastic-compatible LoRa radio. See the Hardware page for the devices we recommend.
Is the chat encrypted?
Mesh chat is end-to-end encrypted: X25519 key exchange, HKDF, AES-GCM-256 and rotating group keys. Internet chat is not encrypted, and mesh positions are protected only by the Meshtastic channel key.
Who receives an SOS?
The people you choose: your activity group, your friends, or anyone nearby as a public pin. They are app users, not emergency services. Responders can reply that they are on the way, and you close the SOS when you are safe.
