Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how Bleep works
Getting Started
What is Bleep?
Bleep lets people reach you without knowing your phone number or email. Print a QR code, stick it anywhere. When someone scans it and taps "notify," you get an instant alert via email or Telegram.
How does it work?
Create a pager, add your notification method (email or Telegram), and print the QR code. Place it on your shop door, car dashboard, or anywhere you want to be reachable. Someone scans, taps a button, you get notified instantly.
Is it free?
Completely free. Create as many pagers as you need.
Do I need an account?
No. Add your email or connect Telegram and you're done. Bookmark your dashboard page to manage your pager later.
Privacy & Security
Is my contact information hidden?
Yes. Visitors only see a notification button. Your email, phone number, and Telegram details stay completely private.
Can people spam me?
Rate limiting prevents abuse: after an initial testing period, notifications are throttled to once every 5 minutes per pager. You can also suspend your pager from the dashboard at any time.
What data do you store?
Only what's needed to send notifications: your email address or Telegram user ID. We don't share your data or use it for marketing.
What if I lose my dashboard URL?
There's no account to recover, so the dashboard URL is your only access. Bookmark it when you create your pager. If lost, create a new pager and print a new QR code.
Using Bleep
What notification methods are available?
Email, Telegram, or both. Email requires a quick confirmation click. Telegram connects instantly via the official Login widget.
Do visitors need an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone's camera and tap one button on the webpage. Works on any smartphone.
Can I have multiple pagers?
Yes. Create separate pagers for different locations, each with its own QR code and notification settings.
Do pagers expire?
No. Once created, your QR code works indefinitely.
How do I stop notifications?
Suspend your pager from the dashboard. This immediately stops all notifications while keeping your QR code intact for later reactivation.
Technical
What does the visitor see?
A simple page with your pager's title (if you set one) and a "Send a bleep" button. Nothing else. No contact info, no forms to fill out.
Does it work offline?
The visitor needs internet to load the page and send the notification. You'll receive it as soon as your device is online.
Can I customize the QR code?
You can set a title visitors see when they scan. The QR code design is optimized for reliable scanning. Save or print it by right-clicking (desktop) or long-pressing (mobile) from your dashboard.
Can I download a printable version?
Yes. Your dashboard has a "Download PDF" button that generates a ready-to-print page with your QR code.
Why no WhatsApp notifications?
WhatsApp requires a verified business account to send automated messages. Bleep is a free tool, not a registered business, so WhatsApp isn't an option. Telegram offers the same instant mobile notifications without any of that red tape.
Was this built with AI?
Partially. The idea, architecture, and core logic are human-made. The visual design and landing page were largely shaped by AI.
