Bitchat is supposed to be an innovative peer-to-peer messaging application. It operates entirely offline using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), forming a mesh network to relay messages without needing Wi-Fi, cellular data, or internet access. Designed with privacy in mind, Bitchat requires no accounts or personal information, employs end-to-end encryption, and features an ephemeral data model, though it lacks a full security audit and has known limitations like cross-platform connectivity issues.

Its potential use cases are emergencies, protests, and large events where traditional connectivity is unreliable, positioning it as a decentralized communication tool for niche scenarios rather than a replacement for mainstream messaging apps.
