AirBeep

AirBeep is available as an iOS project on GitHub. The developer provides an unsigned IPA build workflow, but the IPA must be signed before installation on a normal iPhone or iPad.

Installation steps:

1. Tap above button and download
2. Find a compatible AirBeep IPA release or build.
3. Download the IPA file to your device or computer.
4. Use a trusted IPA sideloading tool that supports your device.
5. Follow the sideloading tool's instructions to sign and install the IPA.
6. Open AirBeep and review its device compatibility and connection requirements.

Before using AirBeep: Keep a backup of your iPhone or iPad. Check the app's permissions and make sure you understand how changing recording notifications may affect other people.

AirBeep uses special system access and may require LocalDevVPN or additional setup. Installing the IPA alone does not guarantee every feature will work.

AirBeep v2.5.1 focuses on improving device connection reliability.

Improved LocalDevVPN Connection

The latest update improves communication between AirBeep and its supported local connection service.

Heartbeat Connection Fix

AirBeep now maintains a required connection while performing supported operations. This helps prevent unexpected connection interruptions.

Original Sound Backup

AirBeep can keep a local backup of the original notification sound files, allowing restoration when needed.

Sound Restoration

The app includes an option for restoring the original call recording notification sounds from its saved backup.

Runtime Logs

AirBeep includes diagnostic logs that can help users identify connection and operation errors.

These features are designed for supported iOS devices. Some operations depend on device-specific system access and may stop working after an iOS update.

AirBeep is advertised for physical iPhone and iPad devices running iOS or iPadOS 18.0 through 27.2 Beta 2.

AirBeep IPA Is Not Installing

Check that the downloaded IPA is compatible with your device. Make sure your IPA installation tool supports your current iOS version.

AirBeep Opens but Cannot Connect

Check the app's connection requirements. AirBeep uses LocalDevVPN for some system operations, and connection problems may prevent supported features from working.

LocalDevVPN Connection Failed

Check the LocalDevVPN app's connection status and follow its developer documentation. AirBeep v2.4.1 includes improvements intended to reduce connection failures.

AirBeep Is Stuck on Checking

Close and reopen the app. If the problem continues, review available error messages or diagnostic logs and check the project's known issues.

Unsupported iOS Version

Some AirBeep builds may not work with every version in the advertised range. Make sure you have a compatible build and check the developer's release notes.

Recording Sound Restoration Failed

Review the app's backup status and diagnostic information. Avoid deleting saved backup files until the original sound restoration has been confirmed.

Safety Reminder

Recording notification sounds are designed to alert call participants. Always follow applicable consent laws, and do not rely on AirBeep to record or manage consent for conversations.
