Life isn’t meant to be a spectator sport. Take the logistics work out of relationships and download MyBeacon! MyBeacon is a social network app centered on ACTION - cutting through the chaos of scattered communication. Whether you are dealing with a major life event or looking for a little support, MyBeacon tackles the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: showing up for your people. No more juggling messages, emails, and group texts when you just need a helping hand. MyBeacon makes it clear what is needed in any circumstance. Stop herding cats or holding your breath for responses – you’ve got an easy way to ask for what you need. CAUTION: MyBeacon usage may result in a significant reduction in doom scrolling, saving money on your next ride, enjoying a meal delivered by an old friend, and building a stronger, more connected community. Embrace the positive vibes – spontaneous bouts of gratitude and elimination of financial waste on transactional convenience services await! ## KEY FEATURES ## Activate Your Beacon: Need help, advice, or planning an event? Post a request for assistance by activating a "Beacon." Describe what you’re dealing with and list Action Items, allowing your network to say “I got you” by hitting a “Volunteer” button. Not sure what to ask for? That’s ok. You can let others add suggested Action Items to your Beacon. You decide what to keep, delete or modify. Beacons also work as “Offers”. It’s easy to get stuck in our heads when it comes to asking for and receiving help. The next time you know someone in need of a nudge, create a personal offer to let them know you’re serious. They can accept or decline; either way – it feels better than sitting on the sidelines wishing there was something you could do. Select Your Trusted Community: First things first: YOU create your network. Relationships can be tricky. That’s why we created permissions with flexibility and discretion in mind. When you invite someone to join your network, they can accept or decline. This does not automatically make you a Supporter of their network - they need to initiate an invite in return. You can set permissions for each Supporter to indicate if they should see all of your Network Beacons or Limited Access. Supporters with Limited Access can only see Private Beacons if you select to add them. Keep it private or expand your support circle – the choice is yours. You have full control of who sees what at any given time. This works both ways, too. Time for a little break from someone? Manage the crew you are Supporting by leaving a Beacon, Quietly Leaving someone’s network, or in warranted circumstances - you may Block/Report a user. Create Your Support Cheat Sheet: MyBeacon encourages proactive communication by allowing users to create a "how to support me" and "how I like to support others" list. This helps ensure meaningful and efficient assistance. No more guessing games. Comments, NOT conversations: We know you didn’t need one more messaging app! Taking action is king with MyBeacon. Beacon members can ask questions, make suggestions or clarify topics in comments; however if part of supporting someone is reaching out for conversations - it’s probably best outside of a text thread. All comments are contained and specific to a Beacon for this reason. No sidebar DM’s in this app. MyBeacon transforms support into an objective focused experience. Asking is a Gift: Did you know asking for support isn't a burden; it's an opportunity to let others feel closer to you? We get it, vulnerability can feel risky, but research shows it’s actually perceived by people as a compliment when you trust them enough to let them in! When you light a Beacon, others feel valuable, transforming the act of helping into a meaningful exchange of care and connection. Track Your Impact: We think you should know your value and promote balance. More to come! #Datamagic Why is MyBeacon different? We’re reviving human-ness.

A calendar reflects what you do with your time. Existence shows what type of person your time is actually creating. Existence is a Time Intelligence Platform that turns your time into data, your data into understanding, and your understanding into a life more precisely aligned with the one you intend to create. It guides you through the Time Creation Cycle. Each week, you Design your time with intention, Account for what actually happened, and Optimize based on what your record reveals. Each cycle moves you closer to the person you intend to be. DISCOVER THE REAL YOU Most people believe they know how their time is spent, yet the gap between what they think they do and what they actually do is wider than most realize. The Ideal You is the person you know you're capable of being, and the Real You is the person your time actually creates. Existence makes the distance between them visible. DESIGN YOUR WEEK Life is created week by week. Time Blocks structure your week across Work, Life, Health, and Sleep pillars, setting intentions for what you'll do, when, where, and with whom. Each week, you design your time with intention, block by block, projecting the Ideal You forward in time. ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME Most time goes unaccounted for, and what goes unaccounted for can't be understood, changed, or optimized. As each Time Block passes, update it to reflect what actually happened. Over time, Existence reveals the quality of your experiences and where your life is most out of alignment with your intentions. ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME Most time goes unaccounted for, and what goes unaccounted for can't be understood, changed, or optimized. As each Time Block passes, update it to reflect what actually happened. Over time, Existence reveals the quality of your experiences and where your life is most out of alignment with your intentions. INPUT YOUR DATA WITH EASE Calendar imports, recurring blocks, and predictive tagging make the practice lightweight. The more you use Existence, the more it learns, automating your Time Blocks so each cycle runs faster than the last. CONSULT YOUR PERSONALIZED AI Existence AI provides targeted insights based on your time data. Ask it why your energy drops mid-week, which environments make you most focused, or how the way you spend your days compares to the life you said you wanted. The more time you account for, the sharper its guidance becomes. LEARN FROM THE DATA Your Time Alignment Score reveals how much of your time is accounted for, how closely your actions track your intentions, and where the gaps are. That clarity is what moves you closer to the Ideal You. With the data you provide, Existence turns your record into understanding. That understanding becomes the input for the following week’s Design. Each cycle gets clearer, each adjustment more precise. Over time, the Real You and the Ideal You move closer together. Existence closes the gap between who you are and who you intend to become. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
