Yes, have a look at MeshLink: https://github.com/meshlink/meshlink

I would love to, but I have no time myself to do that. There is an
unofficial Android app: 

http://tinc_gui.poirsouille.org/

However, it is not very beginner friendly. There's two thing lacking:
editting the configuration files from the app, and being able to run the
app without root privileges. For the latter, the app and maybe tinc
itself might need to be changed to use the VPN API to create a tun
device and to pass it to the tinc daemon. I don't even know if there is
something similar for iOS and/or Windows Phone.
