That's a little confusing. So it is a device or an app? Or is it just saying that you can connect to it from all of those devices?

It's software that's used to turn specific devices into PirateBoxes. So, no, they don't sell a device. But they provide free and open source software you can load onto a bunch of different devices to build your own PirateBox device.

Is your phone a device or an app?
