Arrival and/or departure alerts
Let the people you care about know when you arrive and/or leave — automatically, without sharing your route.
Choose a place, arrival, departure or both, the people to notify, and the message. HailMe sends the update automatically.
Available now on iPhone and Android.
Store availability and SMS delivery vary by country.
Choose when to notify: arrival, departure, or both.
You choose the place, whether to notify on arrival and/or departure, who hears about it, and what they receive.
-
Saved alerts for the places that matter
Save the people, place, and message once, then reuse the alert whenever you need it.

The right people for each update
Family when you get home, a friend at the pickup point, or someone else entirely. Only the people you choose receive the update.
-
Automatic on arrival and/or departure
Save a place and radius, then choose arrival, departure or both. With an active alert, HailMe can send your message when you enter and/or leave the zone.
-
Useful for everyday trips

-
A clear record of what was sent
See the message and time for each alert, so you can confirm that your update was sent.
Common questions
Straight answers about privacy, availability, plans, and how arrival and departure alerts work.
-
Is HailMe a tracking app?
No. HailMe detects when you enter and/or leave a place you configured and sends your chosen message. It does not give other people a live map of your location and is not designed for continuous tracking.
-
Where can I get HailMe?
Download HailMe from the App Store for iPhone or Google Play for Android. Availability varies by country.
-
What is the difference between Free, Plus, and Family?
Free includes core arrival and departure alerts with up to three active presets and one recipient per preset; SMS delivery to people who do not use HailMe is not included. Plus adds unlimited presets and recipients, custom messages, recurring and scheduled alerts, and a monthly SMS allowance for people without the app. Family shares the same Plus benefits with up to four invited members and pools SMS use in one monthly allowance.
-
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every new account receives Plus features free for three days automatically—no card or store confirmation required. After that it moves to Free unless you choose a Plus or Family subscription.
-
What location permission does HailMe need?
To detect arrivals and departures in the background, HailMe needs background location access—"Always" on iPhone and the equivalent "Allow all the time" setting on Android. Without it, these alerts can work only while the app is open.
-
How does billing work?
Apple or Google bills paid subscriptions monthly or annually through the App Store or Google Play. We never see your card details. You can cancel at any time in the same store; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
-
Which platforms are supported?
HailMe is available for iPhone and Android. Registered HailMe users receive push notifications; people without the app can receive SMS where supported and covered by the sender’s plan or SMS balance.
-
How do I delete my account and what happens to my data?
Open Delete profile in Settings. Active account data is deleted within thirty days. During normal use, message history is kept for up to twelve months; data in encrypted backups is removed as backups rotate, within ninety days. See our Privacy Policy for full retention details.
