Arrival notifications
Let the right people know you are on the way — or already there
HailMe helps you send fast, purposeful check-ins to people you trust: leaving, on the way, or arrived. It is built for real-life coordination and peace of mind — not for another endless chat thread.
A focused way to say “I’m on my way” or “I’m here”
HailMe does one job well: timely arrival updates for the right people. No group chat noise, no all-day location sharing, no need to remember every manual check-in.
-
Reusable alert presets
Save the people, place, and message once, then send the same kind of update in seconds when it matters.
-
The right contacts for each alert
Different alert, different audience. You choose exactly who gets notified, so nothing goes wider than it should.
-
Automatic arrival alerts
Set an alert for a destination and let HailMe handle the check-in when you arrive, instead of relying on memory.
-
Fast check-ins while moving
Useful when you are walking home, meeting someone, commuting, or juggling bags, traffic, and low attention.
-
A clear history when you need it
See what was sent and when, so you can quickly confirm that your check-in went out and reached the moment it was meant for.
Common questions
A quick orientation to how HailMe is set up, what it costs, and what it does (and does not) do with your location.
-
Is HailMe a tracking app?
No. HailMe sends a message when you arrive at a place you configured. It does not share your live location for others to follow and is not meant for continuous tracking.
-
What is the difference between Free, Plus, and Family?
Free covers core arrival alerts with up to three active presets and one recipient per preset; SMS to people who do not use HailMe is not included. Plus adds unlimited presets and recipients, custom messages, recurring and programmed schedules, and a monthly SMS allowance for non-user numbers. Family gives the owner the same Plus capabilities for up to four invited members, with SMS usage pooled in one monthly bucket.
-
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every new account starts on the Free plan automatically — no card, no trial. Paid Plus and Family tiers are only ever applied after you choose to subscribe through your platform's app store.
-
What location permission does HailMe need?
To detect arrivals while the app is in the background, HailMe needs the "Allow always" location permission. Without it, arrival alerts only fire when you have the app open in the foreground.
-
How does billing work?
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through your platform's store: Apple App Store on iOS, Google Play on Android. We never see your card details. You can cancel any time from the same store; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
-
Which platforms are supported?
HailMe runs on Android and iOS. Delivery uses push notifications when the recipient is a registered user with the app installed; otherwise it can fall back to SMS where supported.
-
How do I delete my account and what happens to my data?
Open Delete profile in the app's Settings. We complete account deletion within thirty days, retain messages on a rolling 12-month history window, and rotate encrypted backups within ninety days. Full retention windows are in our Privacy Policy.
