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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beacon (Flare) at none against MuMuPlayer's 3. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
