A service bell for the 21st century

One tap.
The right person knows you need them.

Call'em turns your phone into a set of buttons — Coffee, Come to the gate, I need help. Tap one, and the people you chose get a loud, full‑screen alert. No phone calls, no group chats, no typing.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. One tap to use.

Two roles, one free app. You create the buttons; the people you call simply scan your code.

Pick your buttons

Choose a preset — home, villa, restaurant, care or office — and keep the buttons you need. Rename them, pick icons and colours, write the message in each person's language.

Show a QR code

Each person installs Call'em, chooses I receive alerts and scans your code once. No phone numbers, no accounts, no invitations to type.

Tap — they come

A full‑screen alert with a sound, even on the lock screen or in silent mode. They tap Accept, and you see who is on the way.

Features

Small details that make it work every day

👆

Hold to send

Important buttons ask you to hold your finger down, so nothing goes out by accident. On the widget they ask “Send?” instead.

📍

Messages know your room

Teach the app the Wi‑Fi in each room once, and every alert says where you are: “📍 Pool”. No GPS, nothing leaves the phone.

✓✓

Delivered and accepted

See when the alert reached each phone and who tapped Accept — right under the button and in the call history.

🧩

Home screen widget

Buttons on your phone's home screen, no need to open the app. Show everything, a folder or hand‑picked buttons.

🗂️

Folders and layout

Group buttons into folders — “Staff” with Tea, Coffee, Water inside. Drag and resize tiles on a grid so the important ones are big.

🌍

Every person in their language

Write the message once per language; Marco gets it in Italian, Anna in English. Seven interface languages.

📶

Works when the signal doesn't

No connection? The call is queued and goes out the moment the phone is back online. Recipients offline get it when they reconnect.

📱

Several phones, same buttons

Copy the setup to your second phone — or your partner's. Changes on any of them sync to the others automatically.

🔒

Private by design

No accounts, no analytics, no ads. Alerts are end‑to‑end encrypted; our relay only sees random identifiers and can't read a word.

For the people you call

Nothing to learn, nothing to miss

Your staff or family install the same free app, choose I receive alerts and scan your code. That's the whole onboarding.

  • Full‑screen alert with sound — over the lock screen, in silent mode, with the phone in a pocket.
  • One tap to accept — you see “Anna accepted at 14:05” on your side.
  • Several places at once — a housekeeper can receive from the villa and the office on one phone.
  • Leave any time — one tap in settings, and no more alerts from that place.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do the recipients need Call'em too?

Yes — the same free app, in “I receive alerts” mode. They scan your QR code (or open the link you share) once; from then on alerts arrive as a full‑screen screen with a sound, and they accept with one tap. You see who accepted.

Is it free?

Yes. The free version includes one place and up to two people — enough for a home. Pro is a one‑time purchase (€19.99) that unlocks unlimited places and people. No subscriptions, no ads. Where Google Play purchases aren't available, we issue activation codes by e‑mail.

Does it work without internet?

Both phones need an internet connection (Wi‑Fi or mobile data) for the alert to travel. If your phone is offline, the call is queued and sent automatically as soon as the connection is back; the recipient's phone shows it as soon as it is online.

Does it work across cities or countries?

Yes. Alerts travel over the internet through our relay, so distance doesn't matter — the person can be in the next room or in another country.

Where is my data?

On your phone. There is no account. Alerts pass through our relay server end‑to‑end encrypted — it can't read them and keeps only an encrypted copy for a short while until delivered. Details in the privacy policy.

Why does the app ask for location?

Only when you set up Rooms: Android requires location permission to read nearby Wi‑Fi networks. The app never uses GPS and never sends location or Wi‑Fi data anywhere. If you skip rooms, the permission is never requested.

An alert didn't arrive

Check that the person still appears under People on your phone, and that Call'em on their phone may show notifications and isn't restricted by battery optimisation. The troubleshooting section of the guide walks through it step by step.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. Call'em is available for Android; an iPhone app for receiving alerts is on the roadmap.
