What’s New Version 1.2.17
Your check-in schedule now adapts to your real routine.
• Check in a little later than usual? You won't be marked overdue by mistake — and your contacts won't get a false alert.
• Streaks now count reliably, so you'll reach milestone moments.
• More accurate reminders and a cleaner home screen.
• Reliability and safety improvements under the hood.
Thank you for trusting Beacon Safe.
Description
Beacon Safe is a personal safety check-in app for anyone who wants someone to notice if something goes wrong. Set your check-in schedule. Tap one button to say you're okay. If you miss it, your people get notified — automatically, even if your phone is off.
Built for solo travelers, hikers, late-night workers, people living alone, seniors, and anyone who walks home after dark.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add up to 3 emergency contacts (10 on Plus).
2. Choose how often you check in — daily, every other day, or every 3 days — and the time that fits your life.
3. Get a reminder. Tap "I'm Okay" and you're done.
4. Miss your check-in? Beacon Safe alerts your contacts on your behalf — no action needed from you.
WHY BEACON SAFE IS DIFFERENT
• Multi-channel escalation. Email and SMS alerts go out together, then real voice calls if no one responds — escalating until someone confirms you're safe. (SMS and voice calls are included with Plus; the free plan sends email alerts only.)
• It works even if your phone doesn't. Alerts fire from our servers on schedule, so they still go out if your phone is dead, lost, or switched off.
• Contact response tracking. Your contacts can confirm they've reached you — by tapping a link, replying to the text, or pressing a key during the call — and the alert stops. No false alarms.
• Critical Alerts. Beacon Safe can reach you about a missed check-in even when your phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb (Apple-approved entitlement).
• One-tap check-in. No complicated setup. No panic-button gymnastics. Just tap and go.
• Flexible cadence. Check in daily, every other day, or every 3 days — and pause anytime with Vacation Mode.
• Follow-up reminders. A gentler nudge to your contacts a few hours later, so they know to keep trying.
FREE TIER INCLUDES
• Up to 3 emergency contacts
• Email alerts
• Unlimited check-ins
• Contact response tracking
BEACON SAFE PLUS ($7.99/month or $64.99/year, USD)
• Up to 10 emergency contacts
• SMS alerts to every contact
• Automated real voice calls to your contacts
• Faster escalation timing
• Contact invites in your contact's language (English or Spanish)
PRIVACY, BY DESIGN
• Your location is never tracked — Beacon Safe doesn't request or use location at all.
• Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• We never sell your data. Ever.
• Export or delete your check-in history anytime.
See our full privacy policy at beaconsafe.app/privacy.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Beacon Safe is not a replacement for emergency services. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). Beacon Safe is a notification tool that alerts people you choose — not a dispatcher, medical responder, or police service. Alert delivery depends on network
conditions and contact availability.
WHO USES BEACON SAFE
• Solo travelers and backpackers who want a lightweight backup plan
• Hikers, trail runners, and climbers on day trips
• Rideshare, delivery, and late-shift workers
• Adults living alone, including seniors managing health conditions
• College students and people walking home after dark
• Dog walkers, joggers, and anyone going off-grid
• Families and caregivers who want to know the moment a loved one misses a check-in
Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID upon confirmation.

This release fixes how alert channels are shown for each contact:
• A contact's channel badge now reflects what alerts they'll actually receive, including a "pending" state when SMS or voice consent hasn't been confirmed yet.
• The alert activity log now distinguishes channels that were paused (waiting for consent or auto-disabled) from real delivery failures, so you can tell at a glance whether a missing alert was the system or the carrier.
