So it opens like an app next time — no browser, no typing an address.
In Safari: tap the Share button (the square with an ↑), then “Add to Home Screen.”
Pass this bridge to a neighbor
Hold your screen up to their phone camera. Nothing is sent over any network.
Turn your screen brightness all the way up.
Their camera app reads this
They do not need Meshbell yet. The code opens a page that shows this bridge's address.
This does not send alerts. It sends only how to reach this bridge.
If the code will not read, they can type this:
Read the fingerprint aloud so they can check it matches.
If they have no internet and have never opened meshbell.com/r/, that page cannot reach them now. Read aloud what this panel shows instead.
Step 1 · join this bridge
Beam this bridge's bulletins
An animated code that carries the bulletins this bridge holds, as light. The other phone opens meshbell.com/r/ and points its camera here.
This browser can't verify signatures (no Ed25519 support). Alerts will show as
unverifiable. Use a recent Safari or Chrome for on-device verification.
Not checked here. This page was opened over a plain connection, so this
browser will not check any signature. Every alert below is shown as Not checked
here, whoever sent it. Changing browser will not help, and enrolling a key will
not change it. The Meshbell app checks signatures on your phone.
You're seeing this over a neighbor's local Wi-Fi bridge — no app install, no
account. Every alert below is checked on your own device: this page never
trusts the bridge to tell it what's true. Enroll a neighbor's key in person to
turn their reports from “unverifiable” into “verified.”
When neighbors agree with a
report, that shows how many people saw the same thing, which is worth knowing. It does not
make the report verified: only a signature this device can check against a key you enrolled
in person does that.
Enroll a key (in person)
Paste the key bundle your neighbor shows you, then read the fingerprint aloud and check it matches theirs before saving.
No alerts on the mesh right now. This
means nothing has been reported — not that nothing is happening.

Loading roll-call…
Need help, or want to offer it? Post on the Board — there you
choose your own name and what to say. Roll-call stays a simple, private “I'm okay.”
➕ Post a note
The board is empty. Post an offer, a request,
or a heads-up for the neighborhood.
What this page is talking to, in plain terms. Nothing
here is an alert. These are facts this bridge reports about itself, so you can see where an
alert came from.
Devices heard
Each dot is where a device says it is, in its own announcement. Nothing here was measured or checked by this bridge.
Weather warnings
Issued by your national weather service and carried here over the internet, in that service's own words. Not signed by a neighbor and not checked on your device.
Relayed official alerts
Issued by government authorities and carried here over the internet. These are not signed by a neighbor and are not checked on your device: they are shown because of where they came from, and anyone can look them up at the same public feeds.
Radio chat
Plain words carried by radio, to and from anyone nearby with one. None of it is signed, so this page cannot tell you who wrote it or whether it is true. These are never alerts.
Heard on the radio
Import a pack
A pack file received over light on another phone, at meshbell.com/r/. The bridge checks every signature itself · nothing is trusted because it arrived by light.
