Help & feedback

How can we help?

Ask the helper anything about installing, using or fixing your pager. If it can't sort it out, it passes your question to the developer. Ideas and bug reports welcome too.

Squatch helper

Hi! What's going on with your pager? Tell me what you see or what you're trying to do.

The helper needs JavaScript. You can still use the guide or GitHub below.

Answers come from Claude, an AI, and can be wrong. Never share backups, keys or private channel secrets. How chats are handled · Message the developer directly · or email [email protected]

Read up

The guide

Keys, first start, updates, battery, notifications and the SD card.
Flashing problems

No port showing up, won't connect, or won't start after installing.
Common questions

Cost, devices, keeping your contacts, the phone app and licences.

Or post on GitHub

Prefer to ask in public? Questions, bugs and ideas on GitHub can be searched by everyone. You'll need a free GitHub account to post.

Ask a question

Setup help, "how do I...", or anything that isn't a bug.
Report a bug

Something isn't working right on the pager or in the installer.
Suggest a feature

An idea that would make the pager more useful to you.
Show your setup

Share your pager, antenna, repeater or a spot with great range.

A good bug report includes

  • Your firmware version: Settings → System → version
  • What you did, what you expected, and what happened
  • Whether it happens every time, and how to make it happen
  • A photo of the screen, if something looks wrong

Keep secrets out of posts

Everything on GitHub is public. Never post an exported backup, a private key, or a private channel's name or secret. Anyone holding those can read your messages or pretend to be you.
