Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is Beakin different from other apps?
Beakin focuses on quality connections, organized communication, and keeping things clutter-free. It encourages action-driven communication to help users make plans and get offline to enjoy real-life interactions. In contrast, other focus on keeping users in chats for general communication across all contacts.
How many kin can I have?
Beakin allows you no more than 150 kin. The average person can only manage approximately 150 relationships. Beakin is all about managing the relationships that matter the most to you so choose your 150 kin wisely.
What kind of Beakins can I create?
Anything! Send a beakin for an impromptu basketball game⛹🏼. Alert your kin that you’ll be hanging out at your neighborhood Starbucks ☕ from 2pm to 3pm. Or do you have a lot of Thanksgiving events to attend? 🦃 Have your kin add them to Beakin., so you all can manage each event in one central app. If there’s any last minute changes in time or location you’ll instantly be notified.
Can everyone see the Beakins that I create?
Not exaclty. When creating your Beakins you have the option to make your Beakin either shareable or private 🔒. Therefore, if you select private only the kin that you’ve selected can see and attend the Beakin.
What is the social charge indicator?
Your social charge will go up once it’s been confirmed that you have attended. However, it will slowly decrease with each day that goes by and you haven’t attended a Beakin. Make sure you’re spending time with your kin to ensure your social charge is always in the green! 🔋
What is the purpose of Circles?
Circles makes it easier to send Beakins. Do you have a set of kin that love to garden? Create a “Gardening 🌼” circle. Next time you need some last minute help working on your garden, create a Beakin and simply tap the Gardening circle. Everyone in that circle will automatically be selected and you won’t have to individually select them.
Are there security, privacy, and safety measures built into Beakin?
Yes, Beakin is designed with multiple layers of security, including encrypted connections (TLS) and trusted APIs for secure data management. While end-to-end encryption is not currently a feature, privacy and user safety are top priorities and are fully integrated into the app's design. End-to-end encryption may be considered in the future based on user needs. 👮🏽
