What We're Building: ONLIFE

Emergency Communication for Everyone

ONLIFE is a smartphone-based mesh network that enables communication during emergencies when traditional networks fail.

Version 0 Features

  • Android app that uses Bluetooth and WiFi Direct
  • Store-and-forward messaging - messages hop between phones
  • No internet required - works completely offline
  • Battery efficient - less than 3% drain per hour

Why This Matters

When disasters strike - earthquakes, floods, or network outages - people need to:

  • Find family members
  • Coordinate help
  • Share critical information

ONLIFE ensures communication remains possible when it matters most.
