Arrival alerts, not tracking
Automatically notify someone when you arrive — without sharing your live location.
HailMe sends a private notification when you arrive at a place you choose.
Now available on iPhone. Android early access is open.
iPhone availability temporarily excludes the United States and Canada while SMS messaging regulations are finalized there.
A focused way to say “I’m here” when it matters
HailMe focuses on one job: letting the right people know you arrived at a place you chose. It is not continuous tracking, not a group chat, and not a promise to infer every leg of a trip.
-
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
Save a place and radius; when you enter the zone with an active preset, HailMe can send your message so you do not have to remember a manual text.
-
Optional instant send on activation
When you turn on a preset while already inside its zone, you can send immediately—handy if you want a quick heads-up without waiting for another boundary crossing.
-
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.
-
Where can I get HailMe?
HailMe is available now on the iPhone App Store. Availability is temporarily limited in the United States and Canada while we meet SMS messaging regulations there. Android is in early access — join the list above and we will email you when the public Android build is ready.
-
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 is available now on iPhone. Android is in early access while we complete Google Play closed testing. 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.
