New iOS and iPadOS Meshcore app - PocketMesh
PocketMesh is a native, open source iOS and iPadOS client for MeshCore, written in Swift. It already covers the core things you would expect, like messaging and mesh visibility, and feels solid for how early it is.
The project is built entirely with AI, which the developer is upfront about, but they are very hands-on and actively responsive to feedback and suggestions from the community. If you want to try it out or help shape where it goes, you can sign up for the TestFlight.
