What's inside Magic PTT
Open to everyone
Anyone can join and talk on internet-only channels — no license required. No ham or GMRS? Magic PTT gives you a random MP-* ID for the air. A verified ham or GMRS callsign is only needed to transmit on RF or repeater-linked channels.
Your own Magic Rooms
Spin up private rooms in seconds. Invite people by search, email, or a scannable Magic Tag QR, and promote moderators to help you run the room. Encrypted My Room is an admin-beta option when a net needs a room Magic PTT cannot hear.
Magic Full Duplex
A hands-free open-mic mode for your rooms — everyone can talk at once, like a conference call (headphones required).
Live translated captions
See live captions of what's said, translated into your language, on channels where it's enabled.
Chat, photos & direct messages
Send room chat and photos alongside voice. Star someone into Magic Book, then open a 1:1 Message from their card.
Android & iOS apps
Sign in on the phone you want the app on, open Settings → Phone apps, then install the Android APK or apply for iPhone TestFlight on that same device when approved. Applying from a computer will not put the app on your phone.
Crystal-clear Nexus audio
Our production Nexus audio engine delivers clear, reliable transmit and receive across the whole network.
Magic Book
Your contact book. Star someone on Operators to save them, or confirm a two-way key. Hams get a Logbook with ADIF export; GMRS and MP-* members get Contacts. Message from a station card.
Stage desk
The radio stays center stage. Operators, Nexus Grid, Channel Scan, World Net Clock, Weather alerts, and the rest float as glass cards you drag, Hide, or turn off in Settings.
Weather alerts
On a computer, official warnings for your ZIP or postcode sit as a Storm Watch glass card — NWS in the US, Meteoalarm for the UK and much of Europe. Drag it, Hide it, or turn it off in Settings.
Ready to get on the air?
Create your account or sign in on the phone you want the app on, open Settings → Phone apps, then install the APK or TestFlight invite on that same device when approved.
