Localino MeshTransfer / MeshCransfer App Licence

Files, images and voice messages over Meshtastic or MeshCore – reliable, traceable, no internet.

Meshtastic and MeshCore are excellent for text messages. As soon as more is needed - a photo from the scene, a site plan or a spoken message - it doesn't work today. Current apps cannot transfer files. A LoRa packet holds only a few hundred bytes, and packets can be lost at any time. That calls for a method of its own.

Localino puts its own transfer protocol on top of the mesh. It splits files up, monitors them, codes continuously, requests precisely what is missing and verifies the result. The protocol is the same in both apps - only the radio network underneath differs.

What arrives is demonstrably complete and unaltered. Up to ten times faster in turbo mode, files up to 100 KB with a licence. No servers, no accounts, no advertising.

At a glance

Maximum file size 100 KB with licence, 3 KB free
Turbo mode 20 KB in about 12 s instead of 200 s
Voice messages full length, Codec2, a few kilobytes
Connection USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
Data stays on the phone, nothing is sent to the internet

Files that really arrive

  • Resume instead of restart. If a transfer breaks off – a radio dead spot, an empty battery, a closed app – the partial data is kept. On the next attempt only the gaps go over the air.
  • Request what is missing. The receiver can ask the sender to send again; the sender decides in the chat, and only the missing pieces are transferred.
  • Coded broadcast. Extra packets are computed from the data, so any sufficient number of them rebuilds the file. Lost packets need not be requested one by one.

Delivery confirmation you can trust

Meshtastic acknowledges packets at radio level. Across several stations that acknowledgement comes from the relay, not from the recipient. MeshTransfer tells the two apart:

  • Confirmed by a relay – a forwarding station has acknowledged it.
  • Arrived at the recipient – the destination itself has confirmed.
  • File verified – for files the receiver reports only once the checksum over the whole file matches.

Less radio load for everyone

A mesh is shared by all its participants, so every packet saved benefits the whole network. Compression saves a measured 40 percent on screenshots, the payload per packet increases wherever the encryption allows it, acknowledgements are reduced without losing performance, and nothing is forwarded on a direct link that does not have to be.

Duty cycle. The app keep track of their own air time and observe the 10 % duty cycle by calculation, so the limit holds even when the radio itself does not enforce it, also across restarts of the app. Where the law allows it (e.g. with an amateur radio licence on certain frequencies) the limit can be lifted in the settings; the responsibility for that is yours.
