Hopvio

Hopvio sends messages from phone to phone over Bluetooth – no mobile network, no Wi-Fi, no account. Every phone with Hopvio carries messages a little further until they arrive.

HOW IT WORKS
When two phones with Hopvio meet, they swap whatever is new over Bluetooth – within seconds and automatically, even from a pocket. A message moves from phone to phone until it reaches the recipient. A receipt travels back, and you see: delivered. Only the recipient can read the message.

WHAT HOPVIO DOES
• Messages without internet, end-to-end encrypted
• No account: no phone number, no email, no password, just a name you choose
• Network: shows how many devices are nearby and when the last exchange happened
• Board: public posts from your area, one per person and day, visible for 7 days
• Report and block: posts reported by 3 people disappear on their own
• Relay mode: a phone in a fixed spot carries messages for everyone
• Share the app: phone to phone without internet, by Quick Share or Bluetooth
• Restore: 24 words bring your ID back on a new phone
• Changing ID: if you like, your phone shows nearby devices a new ID every day
• 16 languages

MADE FOR
Festivals and events, mountains and dead zones, travel without a data plan, neighbourhoods and communities – wherever the network falls short.

PRIVACY
Hopvio has no permission to use the internet. There is no server, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Your data is stored encrypted on your phone. Phones that carry a message only see who it is from and who it is for, never the text. Board posts are public.

GOOD TO KNOW
Messages only travel when phones with Hopvio meet. The more people around you use Hopvio, the faster and further messages get. Delivery is not guaranteed. Hopvio is not a replacement for emergency calls.
