mt Deliro

ble ham-radio lora meshtastic
Use this command to install mt:
winget install --id=Deliro.Mt -e

mt is a native desktop client for Meshtastic radios designed to connect and manage devices via BLE, USB serial, or TCP. It provides feature parity with official web and mobile clients while offering a seamless experience across platforms.

Key Features:

  • Chat Functionality: Supports per-channel broadcasts, direct messages, and message delivery status indicators (queued, sent, acknowledged, or failed).
  • Node Management: Manages live and cached device rosters, including favorites, ignore lists, last-heard timestamps, SNR, RSSI, and battery levels.
  • Channel Controls: Configures up to 8 channels with role, name, and PSK settings (AES256, AES128, or preset keys), along with MQTT integration for remote messaging.
  • Admin Actions: Performs device operations like rebooting, shutting down, factory resetting, or NodeDB resets via secure confirmation dialogs.
  • Local Persistence: Maintains node rosters and chat history in SQLite during disconnects, ensuring data retention across sessions.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for users managing Meshtastic radios who require a reliable desktop interface. It offers comprehensive device management, real-time communication, and persistent data storage without reliance on web or mobile apps.

The application can be installed via winget for easy setup.

README

mt — native Meshtastic desktop client

A cross-platform desktop client for Meshtastic radios, written in Rust with egui. Connects over BLE (primary), USB serial, or TCP to a Meshtastic device and provides feature parity with the official web / mobile clients for day-to-day operation.

Features

  • Transports: BLE (macOS / Linux / Windows via btleplug), USB serial, TCP.
  • Chat: per-channel broadcast, direct messages, ack / nack with visual delivery state (○ queued · ◐ sent · ✓ acked · ✗ failed).
  • Nodes: live + cached roster, last-heard, SNR / RSSI / battery, favorites, ignore-list, traceroute with per-hop SNR.
  • Channels: 8 slots, role / name / PSK controls (AES256, AES128, 1-byte default preset, clear), MQTT uplink / downlink, position precision, share URL import / export (compatible with the meshtastic.org/e/# scheme used by web and mobile clients).
  • Settings: Owner / LoRa / Device / Position / Power / Network / Display / Bluetooth / MQTT / Telemetry / Neighbor Info / Store-and-Forward module configs, with tooltips on every field.
  • Admin actions: reboot / shutdown / reboot-to-OTA / factory reset (device / config only) / NodeDB reset, gated by destructive-action confirmation modals.
  • Local persistence: node roster and chat history survive disconnects (SQLite under the platform data dir). Messages scoped per-device.
  • Status bar: connection state, link health, battery, channel utilization, airtime, relay count.
  • Resilience: receive-side watchdog + metadata probe reconnect cleanly after the OS suspends the radio (e.g. laptop lid close / wake).

Install

From source

git clone 
cd mt
cargo build --release

Binary ends up at target/release/mt.

A minimal headless CLI for BLE connectivity testing is also built: target/release/mt-cli.

Runtime requirements

  • macOS: first launch over BLE prompts for Bluetooth permission under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Bluetooth. Grant it, restart the app.
  • Linux: requires BlueZ ≥ 5.56. The user must be able to access org.bluez over D-Bus ( group or a polkit rule). USB serial usually needs the user to be in the or group.

  • Windows: BLE works out of the box on Windows 10 21H2+. USB serial needs the vendor CP210x / CH340 driver for the board.

    • Running

    cargo run --release

    On first launch you'll see the connection screen. Scan for BLE devices, enter a TCP host:port, or select a serial port, then hit Connect. The app remembers profiles in ~/Library/Application Support/mt/profiles.toml (macOS) / ~/.config/mt/profiles.toml (Linux) / %APPDATA%\mt\profiles.toml (Windows).

    Message history and the node roster are persisted in mt.sqlite alongside the profiles file.

    Development

    • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings must pass clean. The crate enables clippy::pedantic, clippy::nursery, and denies unwrap_used, expect_used, panic, indexing_slicing, integer_division, and friends in production code.
    • cargo test runs the unit / integration test suite.
    • Protobuf definitions are vendored under vendor/meshtastic-protobufs and regenerated at build time via build.rs.

    See RELEASING.md for how to cut and ship a release build.
