FireChat introduces a new way to chat: "off-the-grid".

Now you can chat with people around you – even if there is no Internet connection or mobile phone coverage.

Please note that FireChat is designed for public communications. It is not meant for private communications. Real names are not required. You may choose pseudonyms. Please exercise discernment when sharing information in chatrooms. Other people will be able to read your messages, your username and full name (just like with tweets). 

FireChat enables a new type of communication: 'firechats'. These live and anonymous public chatrooms can gather as many as 10,000 people simultaneously. 

You can create your own public 'firechats' for anyone to join about anything that interests you - whether it's the NY Yankees, Game of Thrones, League of Legends or Italian food. 



Whether you’re on the beach or in the subway, at a big game or a trade show, camping in the wild or at a concert, or even travelling abroad, simply fire up the app with a friend or two and find out who else is there.


Get FireChat and start bringing people together.

We’re Open Garden. Welcome to a new era of open communications.

    The truth is, this app has a great concept but needs work with compatibility. We used it on a cruise ship this past week to "piggyback" off the ship's wifi without paying for a package. It worked... kinda. We could send and receive messages sometimes, but they were generally delayed. I noticed the app was also turning off wifi at times, removing the possibility to get messages until within bluetooth range, defeating the need. Like I said, good concept, but needs some work. Will reinstall if issues are fixed.

    Wow. Amazing that it can be so slow, difficult to use, and frustrating...took days before I could create two accounts to test it. Additionally, for a 'privacy' app, this one fails with it's requirement to create an account verified by email and then wants contact list access and precise location details. Zero stars. Unfortunately I can't find a good mesh chat app. Guess "Talkie" and "Bluetooth Chat" are the only good performing "off the grid" apps worth trying. UNINSTALLED.

    I really love the idea of this app. But functionally, its useless. There are so many bugs, from having to reset passwords multiple times in a row in order to login, to not being able to find rooms or figure out settings. Someday I would LOVE to see a working version of this, especially living in the fire-prone North Bay, CA but this is not it.

    Ok... Great app with ONE HUGE FLAW! how will people check their email & sign up during a disaster with no internet etc.... I mean that's just funny it's so dumb. You MUST provide some sort of offline registration for this to ever be useful in an emergency situation. Right now it's just high school kids bypassing WiFi locks to text each other in class LOL. Come on, fix this. Another app I'm deciding about called "Briar" & another called "Signal offline messenger" are good examples of how to do the initial setup for an account. unless I'm missing something? otherwise this is a FABULOUS APP

    So i went to put FireChat on my new phone bc i had used it through several hurricanes, but my old phone had died. I downloaded it only to get errors. I did some investigating and the app was shut down in 2018. It's still on here, so I'm assuming that someone might be waiting to have it revamped or better supported. I forgot the reason for the shut down (it's not on the wiki, but there was an interview about it).

    Firechat concept is amazing. Though, the app seems completely abandoned and broken. Their server has been broken for a while, so the app just keeps saying there's an error on the server side and you won't even be able to register yourself in order to use the app. Which is sad. Hopefully someone will take this project ahead.

    Security analysis has shown that data sent via FireChat to other nearby users is trivial to intercept and spoof. So encouraging users to authenticate with personally identifying data like an email address or phone number, and giving the impression of confidentiality with "password protection" actually encourages users to use the app in a way that puts themselves at risk. Yet the app cannot be used without going through this registration process. Highly irresponsible - can only conclude this app is here as some kind of honeypot for anyone seeking decentralized communications.

    rated as a great app to use when you are in a group with no internet. could not get it to register a username. the interface seems straight forward, but could never register a user name. downloaded and installed before i left on my trip, but could never get past registration.

    Firechat, you need to fix your app. Several people, including myself, are very upset that this app is supposed to let you communicate without wifi or mobile data, yet, the app is slow and wont even allow users to register their account. And im seeing reviews about the app not letting users register from months ago, yet the bug isnt fixed yet? Sad. Uninstalled from my device.

    terrible app. my phone battery was full the night I installed this. found my phone dead the next morning. the app is a battery suck. the interface is not intuitive. i have no idea how to add people or start rooms. also the app forces you into search mode the moment you open it so you can never see the bottom half of the screen. uninstalled this real fast
