HarooLink wants your messages to survive the dead zone
An encrypted phone-to-phone messenger designed to keep working over Wi-Fi Aware, hotspots, local networks, or the ordinary internet.
Field notes
HarooLink describes pairing phones by QR code and carrying encrypted chats across several paths: Wi-Fi Aware, a shared hotspot, a local network, or the ordinary internet. Its privacy model keeps keys, messages, notifications, and contact discovery on the devices rather than in a server-side inbox or public directory. The page also outlines local-path voice and video calls and an opt-in SOS note for phones in radio range. iPhone and Android availability is described as forthcoming, so the operational status remains unverified.
