HelmetTalk Motorcycle Intercom

HelmetTalk turns the riders' own phones into an intercom, no matter which Bluetooth helmet each of you already wears. Pair each phone with its own helmet the normal way, and HelmetTalk connects the phones to each other directly, so any helmet brand can talk to any other brand. No account, no internet connection once you are linked, and no company server sitting in between.

INTERCOM
- Works with any Bluetooth motorcycle helmet, mixing brands between riders is fine, only the phones need to run this app
- Phones find and connect to each other directly, over Wi-Fi Direct or a shared Wi-Fi network, never routed through the internet
- No account, no sign-up, no server anywhere in the chain
- Press your helmet's talk button, a volume key, or tap the screen to talk

MUSIC
- Play music through your helmet as usual while riding
- The moment a rider starts talking, music steps aside automatically on every phone, no button needed
- Music comes back on its own once the conversation stops

RIDERS
- Add a rider once, the phones remember each other and reconnect automatically on every ride
- Learn any helmet's talk button by pressing it, no fixed list of supported hardware
- A passenger without a helmet can join in with the phone's own microphone and earbuds

DESIGN
- Runs as a background service so the connection, microphone and talk button stay live with the screen off, phone in a tank bag
- Dark screen built for glare and for riding gloves

PERMISSIONS
- Microphone, for your voice on the intercom
- Wi-Fi and nearby-device access, to find and link the phones directly, no internet required for the intercom itself
- Bluetooth, to route audio to and from your helmet
- Notifications, to show the running intercom and let you restart it if a phone kills the background service

PRIVACY
No ads. The app collects anonymous usage statistics and crash reports so bugs on real devices get fixed, nothing about what you say. Your voice goes straight to your riders' phones. It is only recorded and sent if you switch on “Help improve the app” yourself. Free to use, with an optional one-time tip for the developer if you want to say thanks. Made in Switzerland by an independent developer, also a rider.

Popular uses: talk to your riding buddies without anyone buying matching helmet gear, keep a group ride in sync at intersections and fuel stops, and share one phone's music with the other riders over the same link, with music stepping aside the instant someone talks.
