Rogr turns iPhones into walkie-talkies that work with no internet, no mobile data and no Wi‑Fi network. Tap to talk to your crew at the festival, on the trail or across the resort.
↓ Try the radio. Tap TALK, hold ⏻, hold SOS, turn it up.
Rogr talks straight from one iPhone to the next over peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, the same radios AirDrop uses. No router, no tower, no server: if the phones are near enough to hear each other, they can talk.
It is honest about distance. This is a phone, not a two-way radio with an antenna.
Tens of metres, more in open air and line of sight, less through walls and packed crowds.
Every screen is built like a handset: a screen, hard keys, a talk bar and a speaker grille. Here is what it does.
Close up, iPhone's Ultra Wideband chip points an arrow at the other phone, the way you find an AirTag. Further out, Rogr shares GPS positions with your crew and the compass points the way.
Tap the talk bar, speak, tap again to send. Only one person talks at once, like a real radio, so no one talks over anyone. Press while a friend is talking and yours goes out the moment they finish.
Tune to an open channel to talk with anyone around you. Voice only, strangers see only your callsign, and you can mute anyone.
Hold the tops together. Rogr pairs only the phone it touches.
Every phone in your crew sounds an alarm and sees where you are, until someone hears it.
What you said reaches friends when they walk back into range. Tap one to hear it.
The roger when a friend finishes, the squelch when they start, the static between channels. Three sound packs, and haptics for every key: a rumble while you talk, a heartbeat as you find someone.
The radio lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a talk button right there. Pocket the phone and it still rings through.
No sign-up, no phone number, no email. You pick a callsign and you are on air.
Voice, video and positions travel phone to phone, encrypted end to end. There is no Rogr server to send them to.
No analytics, no ads, no data sold. Your position is shared only with your crew, and only while you say so.
Three more radio shells and the Military and Sci‑Fi sound packs. One payment, every device in your family. Talking, crews, finding and SOS are free, always.
Tap a shell: the radio at the top of the page changes.
Yes. Rogr needs no internet, no mobile data and no Wi‑Fi network. Phones talk directly over peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth. Keep Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth switched on in Control Centre; you do not need to join a network.
Tens of metres, more in open air with a clear line of sight, less through walls and dense crowds. If friends walk out of range, what you say is kept and delivered when they come back.
Yes, every phone in the conversation needs Rogr. It is free to download. Pair once by bumping phones or scanning a code, or send your crew an invite link while you still have signal.
No. Your crew channel is encrypted and only phones you paired can join it. Open channels are public by design, audio only, and you can mute anyone.
Rogr keeps a quiet link open so friends can reach you. Battery saver lowers voice quality and shares your position less often, and you can switch the radio off with the power key.
iPhones running iOS 17 or later. Arrow finding needs an iPhone with the Ultra Wideband chip (iPhone 11 or later, except SE); every iPhone gets GPS finding.
