NearTalk is a secure, text-only messaging app for local Wi-Fi communication—no internet or server required. Unlike typical chat apps, NearTalk is intentionally limited to English letters, numbers, and symbols. Any unsupported content is filtered for safety. This ensures no images, videos, files, or emojis are ever transmitted—making it ideal for environments where simplicity and control matter most. Even while running in the background, NearTalk continues to silently receive messages with no alerts or sounds, offering a unique low-distraction experience.
