Terms of Use
These terms cover your use of Meshages, the iPhone app made by Aeon Products Inc. By using Meshages you agree to them, together with Apple's terms for TestFlight or, once it is on the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
The app
Meshages is for your personal use on Apple devices you own or control. Its radio protocol is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0, and nothing in these terms limits your rights under that licence.
Beta
While Meshages is on TestFlight, it is a test version. Features may change, stop working or go away, and messages and settings may be lost between builds.
Not for emergencies
Meshages does not contact emergency services. Radio messages can be delayed or lost, and an Urgent alert reaches only the people you send it to, when their radio is in range. Do not rely on Meshages alone when safety depends on it. Carry another way to call for help.
Radios and the law
Radio rules differ from place to place. You are responsible for using your radio legally where you are, including its frequencies, its power and any licence or permission it needs.
What you send
What you send is yours, and you are responsible for it. Messages on Everyone can be read by anyone nearby, and anything you send can be kept by those who receive it. Aeon does not receive your messages and cannot recall or delete them.
Your position
Sharing your position is your choice, and it is only as current as the last time it reached someone. Positions, distances and directions are estimates. Do not use them for navigation where a mistake could hurt you.
Radios from other companies
Meshages works with goTenna Mesh radios. goTenna Mesh is a registered trademark of goTenna, Inc. Meshages is not affiliated with or endorsed by goTenna, Inc., and your radio is covered by the terms of whoever made it.
Attributions
Meshages' radio protocol is based on Backtrail, © 2026 BlackFox Media LLC, licensed under the GNU GPL v3.0. Protocol research by the pyGT project, MIT License.
As is
Meshages is provided as is. We work hard to keep it reliable, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors, that messages will arrive, or that features will stay the same. To the extent the law allows, Aeon is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost messages or data, arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law that cannot be limited.
Changes
If these terms change, the new version will appear on this page with a new date. Using Meshages after a change means you accept the new terms.
