Push-to-talk. No radios. No hardware. No group chats.

Your crew.
One button
away.

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

01
Family & Friends

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.

02
Teams & Coordinators

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.

03
Wire Captions

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.

Simple as a walkie-talkie.
Always in your pocket.

01
Pick a callsign & wire name

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.

02
Hold to talk

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.

03
Laser Beam when it matters

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.

04
Claim your 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.

Accessibility

Every word.
In real time.

Wire Captions transcribes every transmission live — speaker by speaker, word by word. Read along as people talk. Works with any audio setup: hearing aids paired over Bluetooth, AirPods, wired headphones, or the phone's own speaker.

We built this for a family member with near-total hearing loss. Free, always. Not a premium feature.

Speech recognition runs entirely on your device. Audio is never sent to Apple, to us, or to anyone else. This is intentional design, not a limitation.

Own your wire.
Lock it down.

Sign in and subscribe to claim a wire name as yours. Close it, control who's in, send invites. The basics stay free — this is for teams and power users who need more.
