ParaDost

Your flight’s closest friend.

Why Dost?

In the ancient tongue, Dost means more than just a friend. A Dost is the one who stands by you in silence, the one you trust when the world grows uncertain.

For a pilot, the sky is freedom — but it is also fragile. A sudden gust, a hidden collapse, a turn that comes too fast. In those moments, you don’t need a gadget. You need a Dost.

ParaDost was born from this spirit. Quietly watching over you, it breathes with your flight — sending gentle heartbeats when all is well, crying out for help when shadows fall.

It is not just code, or circuits, or signals carried on the wind. It is your unseen companion, your silent wingman, your Dost in the sky.

Because every flight is a story. And every story deserves a friend who never leaves your side.

What ParaDost does

Co-resides with Meshtastic

Runs alongside the Meshtastic app and uses the same LoRa link to share status with your team and nearby nodes.

Android / iOS LoRa Mesh

Flight Envelope Monitoring

Fuses phone sensors (attitude, baro, GPS, motion) to classify your flight envelope: normal, caution, or abnormal.

Smart Heartbeats

Normal: heartbeat every 10 minutes.
Abnormal: instant LoRa alert, then 1-minute status updates.
Recovery: auto-return to 10-minute cadence when normal.

How it works

1) Sense

Reads phone sensors and Meshtastic radio state; optional external devices.

  • Attitude & motion
  • Barometric trends
  • GPS position & groundspeed

2) Decide

On-device analytics classify the envelope—no cloud required.

  • Normal → 10-min heartbeats
  • Abnormal → Alert + 1-min status
  • Hysteresis to avoid flip-flop

3) Notify

Uses LoRa mesh via Meshtastic to reach teammates even with no cell coverage.

  • Compact status packets
  • Location + envelope class
  • Auto cooldown & resume
