The story
Beeping isn't new โ it's back. Founded in 2015, paused in 2018, and reborn in 2026 โ same idea, better hardware, open-source from day one.
๐
2015
Founded
Beeping starts โ making data travel through sound.
๐
2018
On hold
The original team scatters. The idea stays parked.
๐
2026
Reborn
Open-source, multi-stack, back for the new era.
How it works
Three simple steps. No hardware, no pairing, no setup.
01
Encode
Turn any data payload into an audio signal โ audible or ultrasonic.
02
Sound
The encoded signal travels through the air via the device speaker. No network needed.
03
Decode
A nearby device picks up the audio with its microphone and extracts the original data.
Explore
Two lenses on what Beeping enables โ pick the one you care about.
๐Dual mode๐ฏUse cases
Your choice. Same API.
Every SDK supports both modes. Switch at runtime with one line.
โ๏ธ
Cloud mode
API key
- Zero setup โ just add your API key
- Encode & decode via HTTP API
- Usage dashboard in developer portal
- Auto-scaling, zero infrastructure
๐
Local mode
On-device
- beeping-core embedded natively
- Works offline โ no network needed
- Full privacy โ data never leaves device
- Lowest latency possible
Use cases
Any scenario where two devices need to exchange small data payloads nearby.
๐ก
Proximity sharing
Share links, contacts, or tickets with people nearby โ just play a sound.
๐
Device pairing
Pair devices instantly by playing a short audio handshake. Works with any speaker.
๐
IoT provisioning
Configure smart devices by sending Wi-Fi credentials or setup data over sound. No app pairing flow.
๐ค
Live events
Push interactive content to every phone in the venue simultaneously via the PA system.
