PawMesh

PawMesh turns your phone and a pair of Meshtastic LoRa radios into a purpose-built tracker for the dogs you hike with. No SIM, no cloud, no account — just the phone in your pocket and a radio on your dog's collar. What it does • Track up to 3 dogs at once, each on their own Meshtastic tracker node. • See every dog's live position on an offline USGS Topo basemap. Tiles for the area you'll be hiking can be pre-downloaded so the app works with zero cell signal. • Compass view: bearing, distance, altitude, and last-heard time for the dog you're looking for — in meters or feet, your choice. • Battery readout for each tracker so you know which collar to charge before the next hike. • Ping a tracker to request an immediate position fix if you need it right now instead of waiting for the next scheduled broadcast. ## What it needs • A Meshtastic-compatible companion radio paired to your phone over Bluetooth LE. This is the radio you keep on yourself; it bridges the mesh to your phone. • One Meshtastic tracker node per dog. • A LoRa region setting that matches local regulations (US, EU 433, EU 868, CN, JP, ANZ). Configured once during onboarding. ## Privacy • No analytics. No ads. No third-party SDKs. No crash reporting. • No backend, no account, no cloud sync. Dog positions never leave your phone. • Auto Backup is disabled — your tracker DB is never copied to Google. • The only network traffic is downloading USGS topo tiles from basemap.nationalmap.gov when you tap "Download" on an offline region.
