Mini Walkie Talkie
Available on the App Store

Encrypted Walkie Talkie, works online and offline

Add people by scanning each other’s QR code or sharing a link, then press and hold to talk. Mini Walkie Talkie automatically tries the best route for each voice message: nearby links first, direct internet when possible, and encrypted relay fallback for Pro background receiving.

Just like a Walkie Talkie, press contact to talk

Hold one person to speak, or select several people and broadcast once. Contacts, speaking state, and route status stay visible instead of getting buried behind a chat-thread abstraction.

Press and hold a trusted contact card to talk.

Hold a contact to record, release to send.

  • Contact cards show recent activity and speaking state directly in the main surface.
  • The gesture is simple: hold to speak, release when finished to send.

Add multiple contacts, and broadcast your message at once.

Every message becomes ciphertext before it travels.

Even a simple “hello” should not travel as plain text. Mini Walkie Talkie turns the voice message into encrypted data first, then sends that ciphertext over whichever route is available. The identity screen makes that trust model visible instead of asking for blind faith.

  • Each device creates its own cryptographic identity instead of relying on a generic public chat handle.
  • Contact QR codes include signed public keys so both sides can verify who they are connecting with.
  • Voice sessions use fresh session keys, authenticated encryption, and replay protection.
  • Encrypted backup keeps the identity and trusted-contact graph portable without exposing raw voice content.

After encryption, the app chooses the best path for the message.

You press once. The app handles the route decision. Nearby links come first, direct internet is next when both sides are online, and Pro can fall back to an encrypted relay when background receiving needs it.

Nearby first

Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when devices are close.

Internet direct

WebRTC direct when both sides are online.

Relay fallback

Encrypted relay when direct routes fail.

The route can change, but the ciphertext stays protected. Nearby devices, WebRTC peers, and the relay only carry encrypted packets. Relay audio is temporary, limited in size and duration, and removed after the recipient receives it.

After Pro purchase, messages can still arrive when the app is in the background or the screen is locked.

The lock-screen screenshot matters because it shows a practical difference, not just a pricing table. Free users can receive best-effort while the app is open. Pro adds more reliable background receiving, including encrypted relay fallback when direct routes are unavailable.

Free Send and receive over nearby routes and direct internet routes while the app stays open.
Pro Receive more reliably in the background, switch apps, lock the screen, and still use encrypted relay fallback when needed.

Easily add contacts by QR or link.

Scan a QR code nearby or share an add link remotely. Setup is quick, and each device securely shares signed public identity material: signing public key for verification and agreement public key for encrypted session setup.

Private, fast, route-aware voice communication from the same room to across the internet.

Mini Walkie Talkie is a focused tool for friends, family, teams, and other trusted contacts who want quick voice communication without public channels. The free tier keeps nearby and direct routes accessible, while Pro unlocks the more reliable background path.
