## What is Beacon?

Motherhood is beautiful, but at 2AM when you're the only one awake, it can feel impossibly lonely. Beacon shows you that you're not alone and lets you connect with other moms in your neighborhood or across the globe.

Open the app and see a live map of mothers who are awake right now, near you. Light your own beacon so another mom knows she's not the only one up. Track your mood, log your baby's feeds, sleep, and diaper changes and connect with a community of women who truly get it.

LIGHT YOUR BEACON
Share your light anonymously and see thousands of other moms' beacons glowing across the map. Locations are randomized within 10 miles of your true location to keep you safe while helping you feel connected. Knowing other mothers are awake and showing up is a powerful reminder: you are not alone in this.

CIRCLES: YOUR SMALL GROUP OF MOMS
Get matched into a private Circle of a few moms like you, based on where you are in your motherhood journey. Circles are small on purpose, so it feels like real friendship.

BABY TRACKER
Log your baby's feedings, sleep, and diaper changes in seconds. See patterns over time and simplify those conversations with your pediatrician or partner. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding, Beacon makes tracking effortless.

MOOD & WELLNESS TRACKING
Log your mood, sleep, energy, and emotions each day. Watch patterns unfold over time and gain real insight into your mental health during postpartum recovery. Use your mood data to start honest conversations with your partner, provider, or therapist.

POSTPARTUM JOURNAL
Capture your thoughts, milestones, and feelings as you navigate early motherhood. Write when you need to process, celebrate, or simply vent. Your journal is private and always there when you need it.

COMMUNITY FORUM
Connect with other moms in a private, supportive space. Ask questions, share your story, offer encouragement, or just vent without judgment. No highlight reels — just real mothers supporting each other through the ups and downs.

TRUSTED GUIDES & RESOURCES
Access expert-backed information written specifically for postpartum life — from healing tips and nutrition guidance to relationship advice, mental health tools, and newborn care essentials.

HELPFUL TOOLS & CALCULATORS
Simplify your day with breastfeeding and pumping calculators, postpartum exercise guidance, recovery checklists, and daily self-care reminders including mindfulness exercises and gentle movement ideas.

SAFE & PRIVATE
Your location, data, and personal information are always protected. Beacons appear only as randomized points within 10 miles of your true location.

WHY MOMS LOVE BEACON
Real, honest, and supportive — not another highlight reel. Beacon helps you see that you're part of something bigger: a network of mothers lighting up the world together. Whether you're a first-time mom navigating sleepless nights, a seasoned parent balancing it all, or someone healing from postpartum anxiety or depression, Beacon is a gentle reminder that your light matters.

### 5/5 — Love !!! Must have

*2026-08-25, version 2.4*

Wish I heard of this sooner , I love that it’s the perfect amount of we are here just enough to listen and to speak.

### 5/5 — Beacon is a lifesaver.

*2026-08-25, version 2.4*

I’m a new mom. Freshly PP 4 months. And I cannot tell you how many times it has been 2am up with a crying baby, no sleep and I just felt alone. And then a notification would pop up.. “would you like to light your beacon.” Going onto beacon and seeing the world of moms all awake dealing with the exact same thing as me I know it sounds silly but it calmed my nerves knowing I’m not alone awake in this big old world. There’s thousands of other mother’s awake. Venting, asking questions or giving messages of hope and prayer. Thank you to the creators of beacon from a new mom who desperately needed to be seen and heard by someone other than my baby 😂😭🥹🙏🏻

### 4/5 — Needs a higher character limit!

*2026-08-21, version 2.4*

If I could give this a 4.5 I would because I love this app so much. Being able to connect with moms all over the world has helped me so much from seeing similar situations I am dealing with as well as the private insights from other moms who reply to my posts. My one and only issue I have with this app is that the character count limits just isn’t enough, I have more things to say then just 100 words and I feel as though this app would be so much better if moms didn’t have to water down their words in order to be able to make a post or reply to someone- it’s hard to come up with a short answer for something that may need a longer explanation. It’s not like if I made one post I could just make another post after that because I would have to wait an hour before I could type out another 100 word post and by that time I probably would’ve forgotten what it was I had to say or the first half would be lost in the other posts that moms make. I think this app would benefit from a higher character count and until then it’s great but not perfect.

### 5/5 — Needed this support

*2026-08-21, version 2.4*

I’m a second time mom of two under 2 and postpartum has hit me harder now than it did before. A mom posted this app on a group I’m in and said it helped her feel not so alone. I used the app for the first time yesterday and instantly felt better doing the nighttime feedings and diaper changes by myself. Because I knew I wasn’t actually alone. I’m so grateful to use this app, even if it’s just the free version.💜

### 5/5 — Best App Ever 💕

*2026-08-18, version 2.3*

After I had my baby I felt like I was drowning in loneliness and depression. My sister suggested that I try this app, and it has changed everything.  Tracking everything from how long my nurses on each side to how long he sleeps has been so helpful. I’ve made friends with the women in my first circle, we’re in a group text now and we talk every day.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-08-06, version 2.3*

My baby’s just turned 13 months old and I found out about your app 2 weeks ago and I really suffered with friends dropping off, breastfeeding, sleeping, postnatal depression and anxiety and I would have loved to have had support and to remind myself there’s other mums going through the exact same experience. Your app has saved a part of me that I didn’t know I needed, just have a hug sent to me and seeing all the other warm lights on during the night when I’ve been struggling most is what counts. Thank you for creating this space for all us mums. We are all navigating hard times together 💛

### 5/5 — Every parent needs this app!!

*2026-08-06, version 2.3*

This app is amazing for pregnancy and everything after that. It’s such a nice reminder that we aren’t alone especially during the dark moments. When you literally are in the dark, silence surrounds you… or a constant crying. This app is great for it all! 🙌

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-08-03, version 2.3*

I've only recently started using this app and I wish I'd discovered it sooner and it had been around for my first child! It is so comforting to be up at crazy hours and see that other mamas are up to, to know while you feel alone there are others up! I love being able to send anonymous hearts to other users and let them know I see them and what they do! Definitely recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Would recommend to any moms

*2026-08-03, version 2.3*

Whether you are a soon to be mom, a new mom, or have been dealing with the ups and downs of motherhood for years, this app is truly such a beautiful concept and community!

### 5/5 — Amazing community

*2026-08-03, version 2.3*

This app has seriously helped me postpartum with keeping my sanity intact! There’s something so comforting about knowing there are other mums going through the exact same thing at the same time - it’s really helped with the feeling of loneliness after having a baby!
