What would you use in your community to use if they were totally off the grid, with bad phone signal and no internet connection?

What apps and tool would you recommend them, so they don’t feel like in the stone age?

    Manyverse might be good for that. It’s P2P social networking that syncs whenever you’ve got internet.

    The entire suite of simple mobile apps is also really good, the Notes app in particular seems useful.

    Organic Maps or OsmAnd will let you download maps offline and navigate with just GPS.

    Aard 2 will let you browse an entire dump of Wikipedia and Wiktionary.

      Thanks, Manyverse is exactly the kind of offline p2p app I was looking for. Do you know of any other offline/mesh networked apps? I really wish there was a replacement for the internet that was mesh networked

      Is Briar kind of similar to Manyverse? I feel like from what I recall it can use LAN networks, Bluetooth, and the internet.
