About Signal Beacon
Signal Beacon sends and reads messages by light, so you can reach someone when there is no cell signal, no Wi-Fi, and no time. BROADCAST • Flashlight: your phone's flashlight blinks your message in Morse code. Anyone with Signal Beacon, or who knows Morse, can read it from far away with a clear line of sight. • Screen code: show a code on your screen for a phone held up close. Send longer messages, your location, even a photo. • Quick messages for SOS, need help, injured, lost, I'm OK and need water. Add your coordinates so a rescuer knows where you are. • The screen goes dark while it signals to save battery. SCAN • Point the camera at a blinking light or a screen code to read it. • Tap the light to lock on. Automatic sensitivity adjusts to day and night, and the reader holds on through a shaky hand. • Received messages show the distance and direction to the sender. • Turn any message into a short video clip to share, with real camera footage or a clean light animation. TALK • A two-way conversation over light between two phones, up to line of sight. One phone calls, the other answers, and each line you send is confirmed with a receipt. MADE FOR THE FIELD • Works with no signal. Nothing is uploaded; the app has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. • Red night mode protects your night vision. • Plain, rugged controls you can use with cold hands. MORE AT SIGNALBEACON.APP • Read a beacon in any phone's browser, with no install. • Learn to read Morse by light in a free game with daily challenges and leaderboards. SAFETY Signal Beacon flashes a light rapidly. Do not use it if flashing lights can trigger seizures or migraines for you or anyone nearby. It is an aid, not a substitute for emergency services: if you can, call your local emergency number.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 11, 2026
A welcome walkthrough now introduces the app the first time you open it, and you can reopen it any time from Settings, Help, How to use Signal Beacon. Talk connects more reliably: the phone that hears a call answers on its own, and the caller stays dark long enough to hear the answer instead of sending over it. Talk's camera runs cooler.
