Latest updates
What's new in Beeper 1.2.1
* Fixed an issue where sounds stored on external storage would not be played, which requires a new permission.
* Changed the matching behavior to always be case insensitive.
Known Issues:
* May not work properly with Hangouts and pre-Android 4.4 because some versions of hangouts eat text messages. The only known workaround for this problem is to not use hangouts for text messages.
Editor's review
Download the latest Beeper application, version 1.2.1, compatible with Windows 10/11 (using emulators such as Bluestacks), Android devices. This free Tools app is developed by Bill's Widgets 'n Such and is easy to download and install.
Previous versions, including 1.2.1, are also available. If you need help or have any problems, please let us know.
Description
For SMS, the application looks at both the sender and the message. For MMS, it only looks at the sender.
The pattern that you want to set is either a phone number in the case of an SMS or an e-mail address in the case of an MMS. The application does not try to look at your contact list.
For example, suppose that you get an e-mail from "remedy@example.com" via MMS. You would simply put "remedy@example.com". If you get a text from 555-867-5309, you should set a pattern like "5558675309".
For SMS messages, you can also match on text. For example, if you see something like "Sev 2" in your SMS messages, you could set that as your pattern.
Once you have configured a pattern, you can simply close the application. If you get an SMS or MMS that it thinks matches the pattern, then it will pop up a notification on your phone.
Note: I no longer have an Android phone, so I can only provide limited support at this time. The open source project page is here, and pull requests are welcome: https://github.com/billatq/beeper
Note: This doesn't work with Google Fi or with FreedomPop. Both of these services bypass the system API for receiving messages. For more details, see the third-party app note here: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6211316?hl=en

1 ★ I set the pattern to text that is from the sender, but just does not work at all on samsung 5. Are there instructions on how to do the pattern somewhere? See others have asked as well and no answer.
5 ★ Love it! Simple and effective. Will help with removing distractions at night while still being available for emergency situations.
5 ★ my requirement was from perticular message sender should keep beeping until i attend. this is perfect match. i like it
3 ★ I can't figure out how to get out of first set up screen. I hit back button and it just exits. Help!
5 ★ This is godsend for people on call. Simple and most effective app. I would have paid for this app but it's free :-/
5 ★ I think I would like it very much. I know it works. I just can't turn it off. I have a Pixel. Does that need a new bug fix? Thanks
5 ★ It works. Keeps me from missing work pages. Exactly what I needed and nothing else, just the way I like apps.
5 ★ Great app
5 ★ Excellent .Reliable pager system.
5 ★ Its great app...
5 ★ Alright
5 ★ Nice and simple
5 ★ Seems to work... but I can't use it. The app itself is clean and easy to use. The app works but is missing one major feature that makes it unusable for me. On my device... Samsung Note 3, I do not see an option to allow alerting even if sound is off. From screenshots in store, this option was there. I'm giving 4 stars, becasue it works. I'll gladly change to 5 if the feature is added back or if the screen shots are updated to not mislead. UPDATE: Was 4 Stars, now 5 Stars due to exceptional support from developer. Was able to work through setup issue and make functional!
3 ★ Works great, woke me up from deep sleep as expected. Unfortunately it got my whole family up, as I couldn't find any way to turn off the alert. Ended up having to shut phone off.
1 ★ So is there like a website or a manual we can look at to set this thing up? Downloaded installed, turned on alerts. Then what? Some info on how this thing works and instructions would be appreciated
