SnowTalkie

Support

Off-grid voice & chat for the slope

Getting started

Open SnowTalkie and tap through the intro.
On the Join screen, type a channel — any short word or number like family-ski, 1234, or pizza — and your name. Tap Join channel.
Everyone who types the same channel name finds each other automatically. No account, no setup.

Push-to-talk: press and hold the mic button, talk, release.
Continuous (open mic): turn on Hands-free (VOX) in Settings to keep your mic open the whole run.
Text: type anytime in the composer — works great with gloves.
Radar: tap the crosshair to see who's nearby and which direction they are.
SOS: hold the SOS button to broadcast an emergency alert with your last known location.
Leave a channel: open Settings → Exit channel.

SnowTalkie installs on your paired Apple Watch automatically. Talk from your wrist without pulling out your phone.

Keep devices roughly within line of sight. Bluetooth reaches ~10–30 m; Wi-Fi peer-to-peer ~50–150 m line-of-sight.
Other phones in between relay along, extending your group's coverage.
The radar shows who's still in range — if someone drops off, move closer or let a teammate in the middle bridge you.
Make sure Bluetooth is on and you've allowed the app's permissions (Microphone, Bluetooth, Local Network, Location).

Do I need cell signal or Wi-Fi? No. SnowTalkie talks phone-to-phone over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi peer-to-peer.

Is there a login? No accounts, ever.

Who can hear me? Anyone on the same channel name. Pick names you're happy to share with your group.

Does it track me? No servers, no analytics, no tracking. See the Privacy Policy.
