Perch is a command center for your Meshtastic mesh; Coop is the engine that feeds it. These pages cover everything from "which radio do I buy" to the raw REST API. Both are free to use and run entirely on your own machine — the docs assume nothing but curiosity.
Radio → USB → dashboard in about 10 minutes. Start here.
Boards that work great, cables that lie, antennas that matter.
Joining a community mesh, PSKs, QR import/export, regions.
Where history lives, retention, backups, querying with SQL.
Hearing the whole city when your radio only hears the block.
Every REST endpoint and SSE event, with curl examples.
Traceroute, position requests, neighbor topology, waypoints.
Several radios, remote Coops over Tailscale, observers.
Why it's two programs and why your capture survives anything.
Serial ports, handshakes, and other real-world friction.
Prefer to poke first and read later? The live demo is the whole app running on a captured snapshot of the St. Louis mesh — no radio needed.
