    We created FireChat—a secure, reliable messaging app that works when and where others cannot. Winner of a 2015 SXSW Innovation award, FireChat uses peer-to-peer mesh networking technology to connect people and mobile devices even when no Internet connection or mobile data service is available.

    FireChat has been among the top 10 most installed social networking applications in 124 countries. From Burning Man to Taiwan, HongKong, Delhi, Moscow, Manila, Paris, Srinagar and Austin, pro-democracy protesters, disaster relief organizations, and artists are choosing FireChat to stay connected to their fans and friends.

    Firechat has been featured on CNN, CNBC, the BBC, the Financial Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and almost any major news outlet or TV network you can think of—often several times.
