The walkie-talkie in your phone
LocalVox is a walkie-talkie app that uses wifi as its carrier — talk over an existing network or connect the phones directly to each other. No mobile data, no subscription, no coverage needed.
A real walkie-talkie — in your phone
Radio, scanner and chat — here's the app, screen by screen.
The radio
Pick a channel and sub-channel, hold the button and talk — just like a real walkie-talkie. Or switch to voice mode and the app transmits when you speak.
- ✓12 channels with 80 sub-channels each
- ✓Push-to-talk or voice-activated transmission
- ✓See at a glance who's in contact
The scanner
The scanner never needs to sweep — traffic on any channel shows up the moment it exists, even while you stay on your own.
- ✓Hears every channel at once
- ✓Shows where the people are
- ✓Stay on your channel while you listen in
The chat
Sometimes text is easier than voice. Messages go to the channel you're on — same network, same range, still no mobile data.
- ✓Text messages per channel
- ✓Same wifi carrier as the voice
- ✓Diagnostics view for a look under the hood
Talk freely — without mobile data
Wifi as carrier
Talk over an existing wifi network, or connect the phones directly to each other — no operator involved.
No mobile data
Zero mobile data usage — works even where coverage doesn't reach, in the woods, on the water or abroad.
Mesh function
The phones relay for each other — every device in the group extends the range.
