okaytxt turns every phone into a Bluetooth radio. Messages hop phone to phone until they reach the person you're texting, and only people who scanned your code in person can reach you.
No towers, routers or servers. Each phone running okaytxt reaches the phones near it, and each of those passes the message on.
Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi link nearby phones directly. One phone covers a room, and a crowd covers a stadium.
Every phone forwards what it hears, so a message can reach someone several phones away from you.
When someone is out of range, nearby phones keep the encrypted message and hand it over when that person comes back.
Other mesh apps announce your name and keys to every phone nearby. okaytxt announces nothing. Relays carry your messages without knowing who sent them, who they're for or that they're related.
Every party, venue or building gets its own open chat. See everyone there with their picture, talk to the room, and DM anyone who's open to it. Owners and mods keep it civil, and the fingerprint at the door proves which spot is the official one.
The only way to message someone is to scan their code. Each code works once, expires in 2 minutes and burns the moment it's used.
Packets carry only a label that changes every 5 minutes, plus padded ciphertext. Relays can't tell who is talking to whom, or that two messages are related.
Add a password and only people who know it can derive the key. /j #crew hunter2
/burn 30 and every phone in the mesh deletes the message after 30 seconds, relays included.
Know when your DM actually landed, even if it took three hops and ten minutes to get there.
Every contact gets fresh keys. Your friends can't compare notes to prove they're talking to the same person, and scanning in person rules out anyone in the middle.
Chats stay on Bluetooth by default. Switch on wire to reach people over the internet, and keep any chat tooth-only so it never touches the cloud.
okaytxt runs on your Mac with the same mesh and encryption. Your one-time code shows as a QR right in the terminal.
Nobody can DM you without your code. Every packet carries a proof-of-work stamp, so flooding the mesh gets expensive fast, and open-room spammers are auto-muted.
Triple-tap the logo. Messages, keys, rooms and identity are gone instantly, and you come back as someone new.
Every phone is a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver at once, relaying up to 7 hops and carrying messages for people out of range. No internet, no towers, no servers.
A double ratchet gives every message its own key, deleted after use. Lose your phone tomorrow and today's messages still can't be read.
Everything is a slash command away.
Festivals, protests, flights, blackouts, backcountry. okaytxt works anywhere there are people.
