BaseUI

What is BaseUI?​

BaseUI is the stock UI interface that's designed to support all devices with screens - making it more intuitive, more capable including new standalone features, and easier to use on a wider range of devices. BaseUI starts a user's journey with Meshtastic and serves as the base or foundation of the experience.
