Help & In-App Docs

This same user documentation ships inside the app, so you can read it offline without leaving Meshtastic. Open it from Settings → Help & Documentation.

Browsing

The docs browser lists every user-guide page. Tap a page to read it; images and cross-links work just like they do here.

Chirpy — the AI Assistant

Chirpy answers plain-language questions about Meshtastic using this bundled documentation as its source. Tap the Chirpy button in the docs browser, type a question, and it replies with an answer and links to the relevant pages.

🔒 Privacy: On supported Google-flavor devices, Chirpy runs on-device using Gemini Nano — your questions never leave your phone. A small model downloads on first use.

⚠️ Note: On F-Droid, Desktop, and iOS builds, Chirpy falls back to a keyword search over the documentation rather than a generative model. If your device doesn't support on-device AI, the assistant is hidden and you can still browse and search the docs normally.
