The New Beeper

5 hours ago 1

We have some big news for all Beeper users today.

Beeper On-Device

Beeper is getting a big security upgrade with on-device connections.

Up to now, Beeper has used Beeper Cloud. The Beeper app on your device would connect to Beeper Cloud, which would then connect to the messaging networks. Now, your Beeper app cuts out that middle step, and connects directly to the messaging networks. This means a little extra setup effort for new devices, but it also means that you get end-to-end encryption for all networks that support them.

As a Beeper Cloud user, you don’t have to take any action; everything will continue to work normally as we gradually deprecate it.

Beeper Plus

Beeper is introducing a set of new premium features as part of the paid Beeper Plus tier, starting at $9.99/month.

  • Multiple Accounts: add up to 3 accounts from the same network (Beeper On-Device only)
  • Send Later: schedule messages across any network to send them at hours that make sense
  • Reminders: get reminded of a chat at any time so that you can follow up, or if you can’t respond when the chat comes in
  • Incognito Mode: preview chats and messages without sending a read receipt, and respond at your own pace
  • Voice Note Transcriptions: read voice notes if you’re in a rush (or are somewhere that makes listening difficult)
  • Custom App Icons: change your Beeper app icon to a couple of fun new ones
  • 10 Total Accounts: add up to 10 accounts (5 more than Beeper Free)

For people who push Beeper to its limits and want even more, Beeper Plus Plus (starting at $49.99/month), will give you unlimited accounts.

As a token of our gratitude for early users, existing Beeper users will get 12 total accounts at no cost, and super early Beeper users who paid to skip the waitlist will get all Beeper Plus features indefinitely.

Watch this space—there’s plenty more on the way!
