Short description
LanCall lets iPhones text and call each other with no internet: over local Wi‑Fi, or directly phone to phone. No accounts, no servers, end-to-end encrypted.
Long description
LanCall is a messenger for the places where phones have no signal: cruise ships, planes, trains, festivals and campsites. Open it on two iPhones and they find each other over the local Wi‑Fi, or connect directly using Apple’s peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi, the same kind of link AirDrop uses. There is no sign-up, phone number or email, and there are no servers: messages and voice calls go straight from one phone to the other, end-to-end encrypted with Apple’s CryptoKit. Strangers can only send a request, and nothing rings until you accept. LanCall collects no personal data.
Key features
- Text messages and voice calls with no internet, mobile data or roaming
- Works on Wi‑Fi without internet, or with no network at all (direct phone-to-phone link)
- Nearby discovery, or add people by QR code, NFC tag, IP address or link
- Messages to someone out of reach wait and send themselves later
- End-to-end encryption with safety numbers to verify in person
- Message requests, blocking, reporting and an offensive-word filter
- A built-in demo contact, so one iPhone can try everything
Limits worth mentioning
- Both people need LanCall on an iPhone.
- Calls ring only while LanCall is open on both phones; without internet, iOS can’t wake a closed app.
- The direct link reaches roughly AirDrop range. It is not a mesh network and not for emergencies.
