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.

In-app documentation browser table of contents

The search box sits at the top of the docs browser. Type in it to filter pages by title and keywords — results update as you type, and the Clear search button (✕) empties the box.

Searching the in-app documentation

A page open in the browser:

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.

Chirpy AI assistant answering a question with page links

Chirpy is Google-flavor Android only. On F-Droid, desktop and iOS builds the assistant button does not appear at all — the same is true on a phone whose hardware cannot run the on-device model. Browsing and the docs browser's own search work normally on every platform.

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