FAQ

Imagine a tiny tag that holds a whisper from someone you love. Your EchoKey™ lets you tap to unlock voice or video messages — anywhere.

Imagine you’re in danger but can’t speak. Based on your key settings, a tap action can trigger a silent SafeTap™ alert.
EchoWall notifies your configured responders and includes location when available.

Imagine your dad taps his EchoKey on the kitchen hub each morning: “Good morning, Dad — today is sunny. Take your meds!”
Peace of mind, even from miles away.

Imagine your child at camp — no phones allowed. But their EchoKey hangs by their bunk. They tap it on the cabin tablet and hear: “Good night, I’m proud of you.”

Imagine a soldier deployed far away. They can’t scroll TikTok on the front lines — but their EchoKey stays on their chain. They tap it at the base hub: “I’m waiting for you.”

Imagine a patient keeps an EchoKey by their bed during chemo. If it’s lost? One click locks it — the messages stay safe.

Imagine a bullied teen can’t have a phone but checks their EchoKey at the counselor’s office. Tap. “You matter. You belong.”

Imagine your loved one usually checks in each evening, but tonight there’s no activity.
The owner can configure check-in windows, inactivity threshold, grace, and who gets notified. EchoWall moves from nudge to alert if inactivity continues.

EchoWall shows freshness, last seen time, and source (such as tap/inbox activity) so trusted users can quickly tell whether there was recent activity. It does not expose message content.

Breadcrumb mode is an opt-in, temporary session that records trusted-device location snapshots for a limited time window. Sessions can be stopped manually and expire automatically.

ACK confirms a responder has seen the alert. “I’m handling this” lets an eligible alert recipient claim active response so the care circle can see who is taking point and reduce duplicate actions during a live incident.

The Echoes wall is intentionally “new-first.” Once a ritual is viewed on the wall (or replied to), EchoWall marks it seen and clears it from wall playback so the next tap focuses on new messages. If nothing new is waiting, the wall shows motivational quotes.

Tap routing is controlled by your EchoKey mode in settings: Rituals, SafeTap, or Both. The resolver checks that mode at tap time and routes accordingly.

In Both mode on iPhone NFC, EchoWall shows a short decision window using an in-page Open Wall button. If you tap it, Wall opens immediately. If not, the default action runs when the window ends.

You choose the wait window in key settings (for example, 5 seconds). The first tap starts that timer. If a second tap happens before the timer ends, EchoWall opens Rituals. If no second tap arrives in time, EchoWall triggers SafeTap.

EchoWall removes sensitive values like token/link code from the browser address bar as soon as possible. This is a privacy and security hardening step to reduce accidental exposure.
