## What is Beacon (Flare)?

beacon turns your screen into a signal.
show a message. flash a color. strobe the room. no words spoken, no data sent, no account required. just your phone, saying what you need it to say.

-- text display --
type anything or tap a preset. full screen, maximum brightness, landscape locked. toggle between white-on-black and black-on-white. Face ID / Touch ID authentication before every display — nothing shows by accident.

-- color display --
slide across the full color spectrum to pick your color. preview updates live. lift your finger to confirm, authenticate to display. your message — if you have one — renders automatically in contrast-optimized text over whatever color you chose.

-- strobe --
neon colors cycle across your screen in rapid succession. adjustable speed — hold the strobe button to open settings, slide to dial it in from a slow pulse to a full meltdown. get attention from across any room.

-- preset messages --
eight messages preloaded: meet me outside. hey. follow me. 5 min. be right back. wait. sos. come here. hold the beacon logo to edit them — replace, rewrite, or add up to ten total. yours when you need them, gone from the device when you don't.

-- pulse --
a breathing brightness effect that applies to any display mode. subtle. makes any signal feel alive.

-- the rest --
quad-tap the display to exit. brightness maxes automatically. screen stays awake while displaying. locks to landscape for distance reading.

-- privacy --
zero data collected. the only permission beacon asks for is Face ID / Touch ID authentication. messages live in memory and disappear when you close the app. nothing stored, nothing sent, nothing shared.
