alt Codes vs Morse Beacon

alt Codes enables you to quickly and easily find the keyboard combinations in Windows to type symbols and characters that are not found on traditional keyboards. In addition to discovering the keyboard code for a character or symbol, you can quickly copy the character or symbol to the clipboard of your iOS device. With Universal Clipboard, any character or symbol copied on your iOS device can be instantly pasted on your Mac.

Morse Beacon turns your iPhone into a Morse code signaling device. Type any message and transmit it through your flashlight, screen, speaker, or haptic vibration — together or in any combination. Designed for hikers, sailors, ham radio operators, scouts, teachers, and anyone who needs to signal across a distance. KEY FEATURES - Four output channels — rear-camera flashlight, full-screen color flash, 600 Hz audible tone, and haptic pulses. Use any combination. - Standard PARIS timing with adjustable speed from 5 to 30 WPM. - Full Morse alphabet support — A–Z, 0–9, and 18 punctuation marks. - Quick presets for SOS, HELP, and MAYDAY. - Saved messages library — star your most-used phrases for instant recall, long-press to delete. - Live preview shows each word with its dots, dashes, and letters in your chosen colors. - Auto-cycling color palette — a different color per word, fully editable. - Built-in Morse code reference sheet covering letters, numbers, punctuation, and timing rules. - Repeat-until-stopped loop with the screen kept awake during transmission. - Auto-maximizes screen brightness while signaling, then restores your original setting. - Preflight checks warn you if battery is low or the device is overheating (the torch can be throttled when hot). - Forced dark mode for better visibility at night. - All settings and saved messages persist between launches. PRIVACY Morse Beacon does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. All settings and saved messages are stored locally on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No ads. No network connection is used. IMPORTANT — NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE Morse Beacon is a signaling utility. It is NOT a replacement for emergency services. In a real emergency, always contact local emergency services first by calling 911 (US), 112 (EU), 999 (UK), or your country's equivalent. This app should only supplement, never substitute, proper emergency contact methods. Signaling effectiveness depends on weather, line of sight, ambient noise, and whether anyone is watching or listening. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone with rear camera flash for flashlight output - iOS 26 or later
