Thanks to BeAware, Deaf iPhone users have a free alerting device (OSS)

In plain words

BeAware is a free, open-source alerting device for Deaf iPhone users. Launched in 2022, it provides notifications and alerts adapted for deaf accessibility. The software runs on iPhones and helps users stay aware of incoming calls, messages, and other important notifications through visual and haptic feedback rather than audio cues, making it particularly useful for those who cannot rely on sound-based alerts.
