What it does
Set a check-in schedule. If you don't confirm, Beacon Safe alerts your emergency contacts by email, SMS, and an automated voice call — escalating until someone responds. Runs server-side, so it works even if your phone's dead. No location tracking. iOS + Android.
Miss a check-in and Beacon Safe alerts up to 10 emergency contacts by SMS, email, and voice — even when your phone is off. Free on iOS.
If you don't check in, Beacon Safe reaches out four ways until someone confirms you're safe: a four-phase escalation that alerts your emergency contacts by email, SMS, and automated voice call. The countdown runs on our servers, so it still fires even if your phone is dead or switched off — and Beacon never tracks your location. Pick a daily check-in time and how often you check in — every 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. Set it once, runs forever. Go about your day. We send gentle reminders before each deadline — tap the beacon to confirm you're safe. Miss a check-in? After a 2-hour grace window (and a Plus-tier Safety Check that tries you first), your trusted contacts are…from beaconsafe.app

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
