## What is NodePager?

Page staff with clear audio and visual alerts—no shouting down the hall.

NodePager turns the iPads and iPhones in your office into one shared paging board. Rooms light up and tones play so everyone instantly sees and hears who is needed. No server. No account. Nothing leaves your office.

Put a device in each room. Pick a staff member, tap a room, and that room shows who is being paged while a tone plays. When they arrive, one tap on Arrived clears it.

WHAT YOU GET
• A board that shows every room at a glance (portrait or landscape on iPad)
• Paged rooms move to the top and show how long they have waited
• Visual alerts plus 20 pager tones (with a Silence button on each device)
• Arrived button so the front desk knows staff are on the way
• Press-and-hold EMERGENCY button that alerts every device in the office
• Hide a room so a front-desk device can page without appearing as a room

NO SERVER, NO ACCOUNT
Devices talk to each other directly over your office Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Nothing is sent to a server. Nothing leaves the building.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 12.3.5 — 2026-10-26

• Display names. Give anyone a name like Dr. Anh for the board and pages. Leave it blank to use first and last name.
• Any staff color, including red and orange. The emergency screen stays red.
• Each person can have their own page sound, played on every device when they're paged.
• A bigger EMERGENCY button on iPad, sized to the screen.
• NodePager does not vibrate.
• Fixes and polish.

### 12.3.3 — 2026-10-18

This update needs iOS 26 or later.

New
• A welcome screen and a clearer setup. NodePager says what each step is for before iOS asks for anything.
• Setting up a Bluetooth office checks that Bluetooth is on first, and the board tells you if Bluetooth is turned off.
• Tap Edit, then a staff member, to change them, clear them from every room or delete them.
• Staff are a name and a color only. There is no role to pick.
• Staff colors never use red or orange. Red stays for Emergency. Orange is not a staff color. A custom color in that range snaps to the nearest allowed color.
• Once someone has arrived, the room and their circle stay a solid fill in their color. A page still flashes until they arrive.
• Name This Device asks where this iPad or iPhone sits. Every device is a location on the board.
• Rooms stay where you put them on the board. Drag to rearrange, no PIN, and every device updates. A page no longer pulls a room to the top.
• When someone is paged, their circle flashes with the room they were sent to.
• Staff circles are a bit larger and easier to read across the room.
• A one time hint shows how to send your first page, and the first device tells you how to add the others.
• Plainer words everywhere, and VoiceOver can now read and use the board.
• Lost the Admin PIN? A new Forgot the Admin PIN button resets that device so you can start fresh.
• NodePager on iPhone, with a smaller board that shows every room.
• Turn your iPad any way you like, or use it in a smaller window. The board fits.
• Staff have a first and a last name, with no length limit. Each circle shows their initials, with the last name underneath in capitals.
• Paged rooms now flash on and off like a siren, at the same speed as before, and the text on them stays easy to read.
• Clear All asks in the middle of the screen, in plain words.
• Renaming a room is a quick prompt.

Fixed
• A page after Hold or a timer no longer looks like a second person is still on the way.
• A timer that runs out while a device is asleep no longer overwrites a later page.
• The online count includes this device. A Wi-Fi office says Wi-Fi Off when Wi-Fi is down.
• An iPad could freeze for a few seconds at a time once it had joined an office. That is fixed.
• Better battery life. Bluetooth offices search less when nothing is happening.
• Add Staff adds a person once, even if you tap twice.
• A wrong Join PIN keeps its message until you try again.
• Room tiles stay put while you choose where to send a page.
• If two devices page the same room at the same moment, the one that missed out is told.
• Deleting a staff member frees the rooms they were in.
• The OFFLINE badge stays on one line.
• Settings lines up neatly and links to our privacy policy.

Your staff, rooms and office stay just as they are. Devices on 12.0 keep paging devices on 12.3.4, so you can update one at a time. A device that cannot move to iOS 26 stays on the version it has, and it can still page a device that has this update.

Still on version 10? Version 12 starts fresh: updating erases this device's data, so update every device in your office together and set it up again.

### 12.3 — 2026-10-13

What's New in 12.3

New installs now open on a welcome screen. The app no longer looks for other devices at launch until this device has joined an office.

Setup includes a Bluetooth check. The board shows “Bluetooth Off” or “Needs Permission” when needed.

The Edit Staff sheet now has Clear From All Rooms and Delete Staff Member.

Added a one-time paging hint, clearer PIN wording, and a “Next, set up the other devices” line after creating an office.

Shorter tutorial. About 240 lines of on-screen text rewritten in plain language for consistency.

Forgot the Admin PIN? Type RESET to erase this device only and start fresh. Other devices are not affected.

New Getting Started guide covers setup, paging, emergencies, and common problems.

Paging, alerts, and the core board experience remain the same as 12.2.

### 12.2 — 2026-10-10

Node pager is now NodePager

• New name: NodePager
• Now on iPhone, with a smaller board that shows every room
• Turn your iPad any way you like. The board fits upright or sideways.
• A wrong Join PIN now keeps its message until you try again.
• Room tiles stay put while you choose where to send a page.
• If two devices page the same room at the same moment, the one that missed out is told.
• Deleting a staff member now frees the rooms they were in.
• Staff now have a first and last name, with no length limit. Each circle shows their initials, with the last name underneath in capitals.
• Edit mode shows one pencil per staff member, and tapping it opens their details.
• Renaming a room is now a quick prompt.

Your staff, rooms and office stay just as they are.

Still on version 10? Version 12 starts fresh: updating erases this device's data, so update every device in your office together and set it up again.

### 12 — 2026-10-02

Important: Node Pager 12 starts fresh. Updating erases the staff, rooms, PINs and settings on this iPad, and you set your office up again. Every iPad in your office must be updated to version 12 to connect, so update them all together.

• A new portrait board that shows every room at a glance — paged rooms move to the top and show how long they have waited
• Node Pager is now for iPad only
• No main iPad any more: any iPad in the office can let a new iPad join
• Offices can run over Wi-Fi or over Bluetooth, with no Wi-Fi needed
• 20 built-in pager tones (Settings › Sounds › Pager Tone)
• Emergencies reach iPads that were briefly offline
• Hide this iPad's room: a front-desk iPad can page staff without showing up as a room
• Network Health screen with Re-sync Now and Export Diagnostics
• Staff can be deleted from Edit Staff Member, and the same name can't be added twice
• Simpler staff setup: just a name and a colour
