Covey is a private group chat for people who are physically near each other -
it works over Bluetooth, even when the internet is weak, congested, or
completely unavailable.
No signal on a packed train? Patchy Wi‑Fi at a fest or conference? Network down on campus? If the people you want to talk to are nearby, Covey keeps you
connected.
WHY COVEY
• Works without internet - messages hop phone‑to‑phone over Bluetooth.
• Private by design - no accounts, no phone number, no servers. Your messages
and identity stay on your device.
• Built for real gatherings - trains, campuses, events, festivals, trips, and
outages.
• Honest about delivery - Covey tells you when a message actually reached the
people nearby, instead of pretending.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Turn on nearby mode and pick a display name.
2. Create a private group and invite people beside you with a QR code or a short
code.
3. Chat. Messages travel directly between nearby phones and can relay through
other members who have Covey to extend range.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Covey needs people to be within Bluetooth range of each other (or of other
nearby members who can help pass messages along).
• It is not a replacement for internet messengers, and not a public lobby - it
is for small, private groups of people who are actually near you.
• Everything is stored locally. “Delete all local data” wipes it from your phone
at any time.
