For every member of the family

Peace of mind that fits everyone you love.

Kids

Know they made it to school, practice or a friend’s house the moment they arrive, without them having to text.

Parents & partners

See who’s driving, who’s home and how much battery they really have, at a glance.

Grandparents

Simple ways to call for help, crash detection that acts on its own, and a family that hears about it right away.

Pets & things

Report a lost pet, vehicle or item and your community helps look, always below the priority of a missing person.

Designed to be calm. Built for the moment it matters.

Everyone at a glanceYour circle, their battery and where they are, plus Lighthouses around the places that matter.
A neighbourhood that looks outReport a missing person, pet, vehicle or item, and see what’s been reported near you.
Safety controls you can trustEvidence capture and the breadcrumb trail are always on. Everything else is your call.

Call for help, your way

Ten ways in. One guaranteed response out.

Hands full, phone locked, can’t speak, can’t move: emergencies don’t look the same, so Beacon doesn’t make you call for help the same way every time. Every trigger leads to the same complete response.

Beacon Button

The panic button in the app. Press, or hold for an instant alert.

Beacon Halo

A floating SOS button that’s always one tap away.1

Beacon Crash

Senses a serious impact and calls for help automatically, even if you can’t.

Beacon Voice

Say your safe word. Hands-free, no screen needed.

Beacon Widget

Trigger straight from your home screen.3

Beacon Tile

From Quick Settings on Android or Control Center on iPhone.

Beacon Chord

Hold both volume keys together.2

Beacon A11y

Your system accessibility button, set to one, two or three taps.2

Beacon Tap

Back Tap, the Action Button, Siri or Spotlight.3

Beacon Shortcut

A launcher shortcut that raises an SOS directly.2

1 On Android it floats over other apps; iPhone doesn’t allow that, so on iPhone it stays inside Beacon. 2 Android only: iPhone has no way for apps to read the volume keys or the accessibility button. 3 iPhone only; Android uses Beacon Chord, Beacon A11y and Beacon Shortcut instead.

Help finds you, even off the grid

Beacon Network. No signal is not no help.

When there’s no cell signal and no Wi-Fi, Beacon can pass your emergency over Bluetooth to nearby phones running Beacon, hopping device to device until it reaches one that can get it the rest of the way.

  • No satellite gadget to buy and no extra plan
  • Works with the phone that’s already in your pocket
  • Relayed alerts say how they were raised, so responders know what they’re walking into

Everything your circle needs

Built for the moment it matters. And every moment before it.

A live map that tells you something

See who’s driving, flying, sleeping, home or at a favorite spot at a glance, with real battery levels and real weather, and a history that reads like the story of the day.

DrivingFlyingSleepingHomeAt school

Lighthouses

Draw a circle around home, school or grandma’s house, and know the moment someone arrives or leaves. Shared with your circle.

Circle chat

A group chat for your family that just works, right next to the map.

Evidence and a trail

When an alert fires, Beacon captures ambient audio and front and rear photos, and leaves a breadcrumb trail for as long as the alert is open.

Responders can’t miss it

Your family’s phones ring like an incoming call, so an alert is never just another notification. They can listen in live, and after a crash, talk to you hands-free while help is on the way.

Crash detection

A serious impact at driving speed starts a countdown and calls for help if you don’t cancel it.

A community that looks out for its own

Report a missing person, pet, vehicle or item and Beacon alerts people nearby, not just your circle. A missing person always comes first: things never alert as loudly as people.

Weather and disaster alerts

Know if someone you love is near a major earthquake anywhere in the world, or in the path of severe weather in the US. Off until you turn it on.

Our promises

Honest by design

Beacon never invents good news. No fake “delivered” checkmarks, no battery percentage it made up, no “message sent” unless a message was sent. When the stakes are real, comforting lies are worse than no answer.

Safety is never a paywall

Raising an SOS, evidence capture, Beacon Network, SMS fallback and hands-free SOS are free, and an automated test keeps it that way. Help shouldn’t depend on a subscription.

iPhone and Android, as one

Built from one shared foundation, so nobody in your circle is the weak link with a worse safety net. Where a phone’s maker doesn’t allow something, we say so plainly.

Beacon is coming soon.
