Recall how much buzz there was earlier this year about an instant messaging software that would tame all of your other instant messaging apps? Control the constant barrage of alerts that appear on your phone’s lock screen. What about WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Apple iMessage, & even Twitter and Instagram direct messages? Beeper is the app, and it costs $10 per month. Now if you chomp your teeth every time a new message comes up on your phone, this could be the best $10 you’ll ever spend. But, now that it’s been a few months, where has Beeper gone? The answer is that it is on its way to a select few, while the remainder of us wait patiently.
According to a message exchanged with a reporter, the developers are working on the deployment and have been resolving issues before the app reaches consumers.“The software still has a few quirks, particularly in the setup step. In an email, Eric Migicovsky, co-founder of Beeper, writes, “We’ve focused most of our effort working on the primary app itself since that’s where you invest most time.” He has even taken part in Zoom calls with people experiencing trouble getting the programme to function.According to Migicovsky, a temporary pause occurred last month while the services were moved to new server architecture, to scale up quickly in the coming months. Beeper is a multi-platform software that works on Apple’s iPhone, iPad, Android phones, Apple’s macOS devices, Microsoft’s Windows computers, and Linux.
Beeper is now sending out invites using a well-established technique. Those who paid for a year in advance when the invitations were sent out early this year are first in line. I had chosen to pay for the monthly payment option of $10 per month by giving my credit card information at the time, and we were the next in line. Then others have enrolled for Beeper but have yet to create a username. In a few months, the creators want to make it available to everyone. The thing with Beeper is that it’s one-of-a-kind—no there’s other software like it.
So, what exactly do I receive for $10 a month with Beeper. One of the main reasons for buying beeper is to reduce notification clutter. Beeper isn’t a messaging app in and of itself; instead, it unifies all of your current accounts into a single app which you can use to view and respond to chats from all of your linked accounts. You can now integrate WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Apple iMessage, Hangouts, Twitter, Instagram, Android Messages, IRC, Matrix, Discord, and the Beeper network into a single app. That covers the majority of the popular instant messaging programs.
