About My-Beacon
My-Beacon was born from experience, necessity, and love. As the creators of Key-Master (opens in new tab) (a simple way to manage access to properties using QR stickers), we were already thinking about how small, secure, tech-light tools could solve real-world problems.
The idea for My-Beacon came from something close to home: Phil is a avid biker, and every time he went out riding, Debbie couldn't shake the worry. What if something happened, how would someone let Debbie know? Phones can break, Phil could be unconscious. But a durable QR sticker that lets Emergency Services or bystanders instantly alert your loved ones without needing your phone? That felt like a natural next step.
So we started building My-Beacon: a lightweight, powerful, affordable way to stay connected when it matters most.
