Why we built Beacon Scam calls and texts cost consumers billions each year, yet most protection tools are locked behind carrier plans or confusing apps. We wanted a free, zero‑install option that anyone can use in seconds. What’s new and unique • Progressive Web App – works on any phone or desktop with no download • Real‑time risk engine – blends number reputation, carrier data, and community reports • Clear scorecard – simple traffic‑light risk levels with next‑step guidance What we’re most proud of Early users tell us Beacon helps them protect parents, kids, and friends who used to feel powerless when unknown numbers appeared. We are excited to hear the Product Hunt community’s feedback and iterate together. 🚀
