FieldMesh

A MeshCore firmware fork optimized for outdoor use — festivals, hiking, off-grid events. Adds automatic GPS advertising, dedicated tracking page with distance calculation, Off-Grid mode with legal frequency defaults and one-press toggle, SOS system with buzzer alarms, message history with RAM ring buffer, and text input/send on joystick-equipped devices. Designed to be field-ready: put it in your backpack and trust it's doing its job.

MCLite

A lightweight off-grid communicator firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck Plus and T-Watch Ultra. Purpose-built for emergency and outdoor communication — no internet, no cell towers needed. SD card configuration, web flasher, and room server support. Compatible with MeshCore apps.

Meck

A MeshCore companion firmware fork focused on enabling BLE and WiFi connectivity for the LilyGo T-Deck Pro, T-Deck Max, and T5 E-Paper S3 Pro. Features a full touch UI with on-device keyboard, games, voice notes over LoRa, web browser, SMS, and a configuration launcher with OTA updates.

pelgraine 1.12.3

Meck-P4

A port of Meck (a MeshCore fork) to the LilyGo T-Display P4, targeting the ESP32-P4 main MCU. The onboard ESP32-C6 provides WiFi companion connectivity to the MeshCore app; BLE is not yet enabled. Features a full touch UI with virtual keyboard, channel messaging, repeater admin, trace route, position adverts, and private channels.

pelgraine 0.6.2-patch

Meshcomod

A multi-transport companion firmware built on MeshCore that exposes USB, Bluetooth and TCP connectivity simultaneously, so phones, web clients and Home Assistant can all talk to one radio at once. Adds runtime Wi-Fi config and an on-device UI.

ALLFATHER-BV 1.16.0.4

MeshCore Low-Power

A power-optimised MeshCore firmware with deep sleep, a full companion display UI with multi-transport connectivity (BLE + USB + WiFi in a single build), advanced radio and network controls, a browser-based configuration portal, and battery-life profiling — built for multi-day off-grid operation.

MeshCore Solo

A fork of the official MeshCore companion radio firmware with extended features and UI enhancements. Adds GPS navigation (waypoints, compass, trail recording with GPX export), battery power-saving (hardware RX duty-cycle + adaptive power control), favourite contacts dial, extended language support with native Unicode rendering, message delivery status, screen lock, auto-reply bot, repeater mode with diagnostics, and more — all optimized for joystick-only navigation on small displays.

MarekZegare4 1.20

MeshCoreNG

A "Next Gen" fork of MeshCore developed in the Netherlands, focused on making repeaters smarter so larger, busier meshes stay stable. It adds a dense-mesh foundation — flood-advert forwarding control, congestion/density stats, hardware CAD channel-busy detection, node-based retransmit spreading and duplicate-hearing suppression — plus an optional internet bridge for linking isolated RF islands, all while staying protocol-compatible with existing MeshCore clients.

MichTronics 1.1.2

MeshCoreTerm

A retro-themed companion firmware based on MeshCore, featuring a rich on-screen keyboard, hardware navigation (D-pad, joystick, trackball), management features for device name, WiFi, BLE PIN, radio parameters, and GPS configuration. Supports multiple devices with prebuilt binaries and no online update requirement.

Offband Mesh

A MeshCore fork for cross-role firmware enhancements and optimization. Active roles include companion/observer with WiFi+MQTT observation publishing, NimBLE migration, web UI, and repeater with MQTT-to-Mosquitto bridging, burst-WiFi telemetry, heap and power tuning.

OffbandMesh 1.0.0

Saitama

An open-source standalone firmware for LoRa mesh devices built on MeshCore, designed for the LilyGo T-Deck and T-Deck Plus. Provides smartphone-grade messaging, GPS maps, encrypted comms, and more — all running directly on the device with no phone, internet, or license required.

Wadamesh

A touch-UI MeshCore firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus and Heltec V4 TFT (ESP32-S3), built with LVGL. Split out from meshcomod. Provides a full touch-driven companion experience with on-screen keyboard and WiFi connectivity.

ZephCore

A ground-up port of MeshCore from Arduino to the Zephyr RTOS. Replaces the Arduino loop with Zephyr's event-driven primitives so the CPU sleeps between events, while aiming for full protocol compatibility with stock MeshCore firmware and the MeshCore mobile apps.

MeshCore T-Beam 1W

Dedicated MeshCore firmware builds for the LilyGo T-Beam 1 Watt, providing prebuilt binaries for easy flashing without compiling from source.

MeshCore-Evo

An improved repeater-focused fork of MeshCore that bundled pending upstream PRs and improvements for dense meshes — notably flood-advert traffic mitigation and enhanced `denyf *` handling. Largely superseded once official 1.16.0 added native flood traffic management.
