Push-to-talk. No radios. No hardware. No group chats.
Hold to talk. Release when you're done. Pick a callsign, name your wire, share the link — and you're live. Works for the family road trip and the church security team equally well.

Who it's for
A wire for the road trip. For the group camping out. For the family spread across the house. Leave it open in the background — when someone talks, you hear it. Quiet otherwise. No pinging, no notifications, no noise.
Church security, event staff, sports coaches, volunteer crews. Claim your wire, lock it down, approve who joins. Low-latency PTT with a Lock Screen widget and Live Activity so the talk button is always one tap away — no radios, no hardware.
Live on-screen transcription of every transmission, read as people talk. Works with hearing aids over Bluetooth, AirPods, wired headphones, or the phone's own speaker. Built for a family member with near-total hearing loss — free, always.
How it works
Choose whatever name you want — like a handle on a CB radio. Name your wire, share the link, and anyone with it can join. No account required to start.
Press and hold the big button. Talk. Release when you're done. Keep it open in the background and your wire stays live. Slide left to lock the button open — no holding required.
Hold the scope icon next to any name to transmit directly to that one person. Only they hear you — everyone else stays quiet. One-on-one in the middle of a full wire.
Personal subscribers can lock down a wire name — yours, nobody else's. Approve who joins, assign roles, send invite links directly. Your channel, your rules.
