Only when it matters.
Reach them through Do Not Disturb.
One beep comes through their Do Not Disturb, and opening it sounds an alarm that reads your reason out loud. Only for the few people who said yes to you.

The problem
Do Not Disturb cannot tell who is calling.
Do Not Disturb silences everyone
The same switch that hides the group chat at night also hides the one call that could not wait.
A text can sit unread for hours
You send it, you wait, and you have no way of knowing whether they ever saw it.
Emergency Bypass lets everything in
Give a contact bypass and every call and text from them rings, the trivial ones too. So it ends up switched off.
BeepPact is the one alert you both agreed to let through.
How it works
Three steps, both of you agreeing.
- Step 1
Make a pact
Invite someone you trust. Nothing can ring them until they accept your Pact Request.
- Step 2
Send a beep
Type why it matters, up to 100 characters. Your budget shows how many beeps are left this month.
- Step 3
It breaks through
As a Time Sensitive notification it comes through Do Not Disturb. On silent it arrives without sound, and opening it sounds an alarm that reads your reason aloud until they slide to acknowledge.
Who it's for
The few people you would drop everything for.
Couples
Your partner sleeps with Do Not Disturb on. When the car dies at 2am, your beep still gets through.
“Car broke down on Route 6. Please call me.”
Caregivers
Keep your phone quiet at work and still be the first to know when a parent needs you.
“I fell and I am at the ER. Please call me as soon as you hear this.”
Co-parents
One line between two homes, kept for the kids. Nothing else gets through it.
“School called, Noa has a fever. Can you pick her up?”
Best friends and roommates
For the night you need someone to pick up, right now, even with Do Not Disturb on.
“I need you to call me right now. I feel unsafe.”
30-second quiz
Who would you pact with?
Four questions. At the end, the pact you would send and the reason they would hear.
Who comes to mind first?
Features
Built to get through
Comes through Do Not Disturb
A beep is a Time Sensitive notification, so Focus lets it through. On silent it arrives without sound; once opened, it takes over the screen with an alarm until they slide to acknowledge, then they can call or message you back.
Your reason, read aloud
Up to 100 characters, spoken on their phone the moment they open the beep, so they know why right away.
Slide to acknowledge
One deliberate swipe silences it, and your Activity tab shows Acknowledged. No wondering whether they saw it.
A budget that keeps beeps rare
Every month you get a handful of beeps, and your dashboard shows how many are left. When a beep costs something, it only gets spent on what matters, so theirs never turns into noise either.

Built on consent
Power that is hard to abuse
- characters in a reason, read aloud
- 100
- people on a pact list, at most
- 5
- yeses before a pact can ring anyone
- 2
Both sides agree
Every pact starts with a request the other person has to accept.
Revocable any time
Either person can end a pact whenever they want. No one keeps access they were not given.
Five people, at most
A pact list is capped at five, so it stays the few people who truly matter.
A monthly budget
Beeps are limited each month, so a beep always means it matters.
Who would you want to reach, no matter what?
Send them a pact today. Nothing can ring them until they say yes, and either of you can end it with a tap.
